What's In It for Me? How Your Company Can Benefit from Open Sourcing Code
As the open source community continues to clamor for more companies to open source their code, more and more executives are asking themselves just what open source can do for their company. There are a number of ways for a company to open source an internal project: from tossing code over the wall on the one hand to running a fully open development project on the other to any combination of the two.
This talk will discuss the costs and benefits associated with each method as well as how to successfully launch your new open source project.

Microsoft bases their whole business on secrets such as the Win32 API and closed file formats. The company will die before opening the code.
Linux is an example of software which "distrupts" a market, like they say in the beginning of the talk.
Opening the code is for companies which are not in the business of selling their software. For example, IBM wants to sell servers and offer consulting, so they want the software to become a commodity. They like Linux for that reason.

You will probably delete this comment but linux is the scraps of apple minus working code, or missing blocks.

It's nice to hear someone address the malicious side of oss strategy. I have watched full branches of working code become completely useless by communities collaborating for the unseen motivations. No documentation and code obfuscation, cast into the void!
