The Year-Round Joys and Benefits of Open Source Software
One of the things that makes us programmers feel warm and fuzzy is open source software. Companies support open source too. Why give something away for free? A lot of individuals contribute open source code out of a genuine sense of altruism. Yet when it comes to companies, it’s often a strategic choice, and one they expect to benefit from. Let's review how companies benefit from open source.
