I had never before considered that a company might release source code under an open source license as a way to harm a competitor. That got me to thinking, what motivates companies to release code under an open source license? After a company does so, what makes it an ethical member of the open source community? Is source code like drug money? Can it be tainted if depending on the source?
increasing competition by releasing open source software is a good thing and has nothing to do with ethics.
