The OSS development model leads to a strong possibility of unhealthy
"forking" of a code base, resulting in the development of multiple
incompatible versions of programs, weakened interoperability, product
instability, and hindering businesses� ability to strategically plan for
the future. Furthermore, it has inherent security risks and can force
intellectual property into the public domain.
Some of the most successful OSS technology is licensed under the GNU
General Public License or GPL. The GPL mandates that any software that
incorporates source code already licensed under the GPL will itself
become subject to the GPL. When the resulting software product is
distributed, its creator must make the entire source code base freely
available to everyone, at no additional charge. This viral aspect of the
GPL poses a threat to the intellectual property of any organization
making use of it. It also fundamentally undermines the independent
commercial software sector because it effectively makes it impossible to
distribute software on a basis where recipients pay for the product
rather than just the cost of distribution.
