越来越多的文献探讨了个人参与自由和开放源码软件的动机，但公司如何参与在很大程度上是一个无人关注的研究领域。建立在信息从一个广泛的数据集的二手来源和30个深入的采访，我表明，新进入者已经出现了一个不断变化的制度基础设施和更务实的态度，专注于技术利益，而不是意识形态的公司。为了了解这些公司如何利用这些社区的工作，我使用经验数据来推导出不同方法的2*2矩阵。X轴反映企业是否创建了新的社区或依赖于同行建立的社区，而Y轴则代表企业参与社区的程度。这种分类法说明了新进入者如何发起新形式的社区或加入由同行建立的社区。这表明，虽然自由和开放源码软件的许多核心支柱仍然存在，但新进入者已经出现，寻找新的经营方式，对公司战略和知识披露产生了各种影响。版权所有2007年，牛津大学出版社。
A growing body of literature has explored the motivations for individuals to take part in free and open source software (FOSS), yet how firms participate is largely an unattended research area. Building on information from an extensive dataset of secondary sources and 30 in-depth interviews, I show that de novo entrants have emerged in conjunction with a changing institutional infrastructure and a more pragmatic attitude toward firms that focus on technological benefits rather than ideology. To understand how these firms try to harness the work of these communities, I use the empirical data to derive a 2*2 matrix of different approaches. The X axis reflects whether or not the firms initiated a new community or relied on communities founded by peers, whereas the Y axis represents the degree of participation of the firm in the community. This taxonomy illustrates how de novo entrant are initiating new forms of communities or joining communities established by peers. This suggests that while many of the central pillars of FOSS remains, de novo entrants have emerged to find new ways of making business resulting in various implications for firm strategies and knowledge disclosure.
