Vijay K. Gurbani, Anita Garvert, James D. Herbsleb · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2005
Commercially, many in the industry are using products based on Open Source. What have been missing are studies on if the commercial industry benefits from developing software following the open source development model. We present a case study that examines this issue by applying the concepts of the open source software development methodology to creating industrial-strength software. We conclude with lessons learned and open research questions.
