The Economic Motivation of Open Source Software: Stakeholder Perspectives

,----[ Quote ]
| Open source software has enabled large system integrators to increase
| their profits through cost savings and reach more customers due to
| flexible pricing. This has upset existing ecosystems and shuffled
| structural relationships, resulting in the emergence of firms
| providing consulting services to open source projects. This new 
| breed of service firm in turn lives or dies by its ability to
| recruit and retain appropriate talent.
| 
| For such talent, in particular for software developers, life has
| become more difficult and exciting at once. Developers face new
| career prospects and paths, since their formal position in an open
| source project, in addition to their experience and capabilities,
| determines their value to an employer. Economically rational
| developers strive to become committers to high-profile open source
| projects to further their careers, which in turn generates more
| recognition, independence, and job security.
