open source what is the motivation? 1. knowledge to be shared “like knowledge the sharing of recipes among cooks” 2. most developers have a need or a want to; they are not simply programmer drones at a huge corporation! 3. OSS projects have log files listing all contributors of the software. They find it desirable to participate in OSS projects to signal their ability and to enhance professional advancement. 4. some individuals find it fun to go against the giant such as Microsoft http: //hbswk. hbs. edu/item. jhtml? id=4834&t=technology.
