Hi,
We have many tech-based startups emerging in myriad domains in recent times, though very few makes their source-code / process open. This makes me wonder if there are other systemic models to encourage open-source design of projects beyond support by patrons.
-
How does one go about pitching a new tech startup to make their design/ technology open? Does obscure tech really give one competitive advantage?
-
How does the development of free and open source projects generally supported?
-
Do we have examples of institutional model to support and encourage free and open source projects?
Thanks!
