>- builds trust with the users
Most of your market honestly won't care if you have open sourced your code (and it won't build up any further trust).
- jmm57 14y agoMaybe not main stream users. However, the market right now seems to be early-adopter-type camera geeks in San Francisco. I would think open sourcing the application would garner some serious respect from that crowd, if not trust.
- argonaut 14y agoUnless these camera geeks are also software developers that actively follow open-source projects, I doubt they actually care. The intersection between those two groups, multiplied by the very slight amount of trust that is gained (teyc was right in that users don't care about your code, they care about other users), while non-zero, is not substantial enough to warrant open-sourcing and all the hurdles that come with it.
