Why prefer open source

An open source code base is your asset. A proprietary code base is someone else’s asset.

Just so long as you understand what “your” and “someone else’s” mean.

(You will recall this picture from Arian Young. I used it in February discussing mandates.)

Now it’s true that an open source asset is shared. But that’s why GPL code may be the best open source asset to have, ifSource: Open Source RSS Feed
