In my opinion the greatest thing you can earn from opening your sources is QUALITY. You have to prepare your codes for opening them so you do not just hack codes together. I hope that all moguls of software development companies will see the opportunity in OSS and make their codes public. I myself work for one of these leading companies and see that ignoring OSS causes a lot of trouble. In our project we work with EMF and GEF and instead of using them our management forced developers to rewrite them putting more bugs in the code than it had before. As we have not too many testers compared to OSS projects these bugs will remain 4ever in the code. So OSS 4ever! Great writing.
