开放源码软件开发是一种利用互联网社区参与者的分布式智能的生产模式。该模型是有效的，因为两个相关的原因：它避免了一个强大的知识产权制度的低效率，它实现了并发的软件模块的设计和测试。开源的危险在于项目可能会“分叉”成相互竞争的版本。然而，开源社区的治理结构在本质上最大限度地减少了这种危险。由于开放源码在分布式环境中工作，它为发展中国家参与前沿创新提供了机会。版权所有2001年，牛津大学出版社。
Open-source software development is a production model that exploits the distributed intelligence of participants in Internet communities. This model is efficient because of two related reasons: it avoids the inefficiencies of a strong intellectual property regime and it implements concurrently design and testing of software modules. The hazard of open source is that projects can 'fork' into competing versions. However, open-source communities consist of governance structures that constitutionally minimize this danger. Because open source works in a distributed environment, it presents an opportunity for developing countries to participate in frontier innovation. Copyright 2001, Oxford University Press.
