Is open source anti-thesis of proprietary or it complement? If proprietary does not exist, would open source movement emerge? Nowadays, there is a new phenomena on open source movement: collaboration with proprietary. IBM, Novell and SUN are several name who joined open source movement by share their information and resource. In one hand, this tendency shows a new trend of knowledge accumulation from ownership to share and also open source ‘power’ to encourage the proprietary business model to make a radical change. In the other hand, this change also influence the open source community itself: does this collaboration effect their openness and freedom?
In academic field, openness is valued through kum and position. The position will influence responsibilities and salary. So people is encourage to publish his/her research. While in open source the motive is quite different. They involve in the movement as part of rebelion against the closed source. After the movement has widespread, open source has become an alternative that counterbalance proprietary domination.
The next step is how to manage open source so it can sustain?
