Adopting an Open Source Approach to Software Development, Distribution, and
Licensing
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source software is shifting the software industry to a
| new paradigm, moving from developing code behind closed doors
| and delivering binaries to customer, to developing code that's
| shared, modified, and redistributed openly. Key benefits
| associated with this shift are the reduction in development cost
| and software component complexity and developing reusable,
| common off-the-shelf software assets, while increasing flexibility
| and using common enablers. Organizations that embrace the open
| source model and follow it when it positively influences their
| way of building software will increase their chance of retaining
| a competitive advantage.
