They are also embracing a collaborative culture. They embrace the idea that the companies should be collaborative, that teams should send codes among each other, they should share their knowledge, and they should push the boundaries. The companies also embrace the idea of their code and their actions being peer-reviewed. -One of the common themes about open source is that there is a much bigger duty of care by all parties involved. And it is interesting because it is just the concept of opening it that makes people take that extra care of attention, forces them to have a much stronger will to look after the little things, look after the quality. Make sure things are done properly and that things in a way are easy to actually consume. +One of the common characteristics of open-source is that there is a much bigger duty of care by all parties involved. The concept alone of open-source makes people take extra care, and forces them to pay much closer attention to detail and quality.

So, it isn't just about license, it isn't just about slapping something there, saying please copy this, in fact there is a lot also of cases of companies who have done that and of course nothing really happened because ultimately open source is about a community, it is about creating communities and that is really hard to do. \ No newline at end of file +Ultimately, open-source is a way to promote environments that are much more collaboration-friendly at code level. It isn't just about license, it isn't just about dropping something and giving instructions for it to be copied. Where companies have done this, nothing happened, because open-source is about a community. Open-source is about creating communities, and that is difficult to achieve.
