如今，许多公司都在努力应对不断扩大的软件代码库。该如何处理这组自制的库或数据处理应用程序？维护它可能会被证明是昂贵的，并转移工程师对新的和创新的项目的工作。有一种选择吸引了越来越多的兴趣：将其作为开源发布。开放源代码软件是免费提供的软件，许可使用和修改，包括商业活动。任何人都可以复制，分发或嵌入他们认为合适的，而不必支付版税，甚至谈判许可协议。
These days, many companies are struggling with ever-expanding software code bases. What to do with that set of homegrown libraries or that data processing application? Maintaining it could prove costly and divert engineers from working on new and innovative projects. There's one option that's attracting increased interest: release it as open source. Open source software is freely available software licensed for use and modification, including commercial activities. Anyone can copy, distribute or embed it as they see fit, without having to pay royalties or even negotiate a license agreement.
