What fears did you have (e.g., people stealing your code). Did they materialize? How do you enforce your licensing? Do people try to screw you more or less than if you were commercial proprietary.<BR/><BR/>Yay Jive all around.fuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442788840388847156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655567.post-80510582597023009012007-03-06T19:07:00.000-08:002007-03-06T19:07:00.000-08:00Cool, thanks for including us (Jive Software) in t...Cool, thanks for including us (<A HREF="http://www.jivesoftware.com/" REL="nofollow">Jive Software</A>) in the list. I strongly encourage any commercial software company to try developer source. Customers love it and it can be a big competitive advantage.<BR/><BR/>That said, we love traditional open-source as well which is why we have big OS projects.<BR/><BR/>We try to go beyond just making our source available to licensees -- we provide a full build script and developer environment (project files). It's handy for us internally and for customers. ;)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>--BillBill Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01956625336422019827noreply@blogger.com
