Hi all,
I designed and built a few projects (50k lines of source in about 50 projects) around the JBoss Seam framework that I use when building websites for clients. Essentially, I developed a content management system where different modules may be plugged in.
What would I gain by open sourcing the projects and how much would I lose?
If I open up the source code, the projects may benefit (reduced bugs, more efficient code, etc.), but at the potential loss of 3rd parties using the projects without going through me to build a website.
It might also be good exposure, to have my work and ideas out there.
Any thoughts?
You guys have lots of good answers, so hard to choose one - I am making it a community wiki.
