The Future of Open Ecosystem Programs: Bridging Communities, Innovation, and Collaboration
summary
Defines open core vs source-available precisely: source-available is viewable but lacks open-source permissions, open core is a business model mixing public and proprietary code. Claims open source is "everywhere" and accelerates innovation, cites NGINX as infrastructure and four years on a TODO Group steering committee as experience. Flags AI as requiring new licensing and an OSI AI definition, notes debates over bot-contributed code, and warns the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) will force EU supply-chain compliance for commercialized projects.
