Open source behind closed doors: in the first of a two part series (part II) ZDNet looks at why some open source projects remain secret. “Lots of companies are using our products, they just aren’t talking about it”, is a popular excuse from software companies, particularly those that offer open source software and services. Deployment of open source software, particularly in the private sector, often appears to be a clandestine activity, with few companies prepared to discuss their involvement.
