Open source is more than a marketing buzzword — it is a developer state of mind delivering real returns to companies and the broader market, writes Dave McAllister, director of standards and open source for Adobe Systems.
It’s an interesting question: Why would large, established companies like Adobe and others embrace open source strategies? In some ways, it seems counterproductive. After all, releasing a software application’s source code to the community could be viewed as letting an organization’s competitive advantage walk out the door. However, as anyone involved in the open source community knows, this shortsighted view fails to acknowledge the true benefits of open source development.
