A bit of a side-topic but I am sure many people will resonate with this. My company has been considering making many internal projects open source - these are the foundations of our products. Why have we not done it yet? Well, it takes a lot of effort to go open source - more than people realise. We can't just dump bunch of sources out there - there is no point in doing that. We need to open them so that they are well documented, understood, have good support around the build system any many other things you don't need to consider when developing in-house products. So while open source is great and I love it as much as the next person it is not easy.
