I’m beginning to think the coolness of open sourcing stuff is wearing off a bit.

If it is core tech to a business then why bother? Lots of cool projects don’t really get that many contributors. No point getting a community hooked on your software if you have to give it away and hope they’ll one day buy some services so you get paid.

All in all I foresee it becoming easier that source is kept closed for all things non-core to a business.
