What’s the Relationship Between Innovation & Open Source?

Here is what we have found: Open source framework adoption can increase the amount of innovation possible compared the proprietary, closed source code.

On a smaller scale, utilizing open source frameworks allows innovators to have more help with their projects, to be able to more swiftly fix problems in their code, to reduce the amount of unnecessary work that has been solved previously, and to increase overall efficiency in the creation of their products. These small scale improvements allow projects to be better for everyone.

On a larger scale, utilizing open source frameworks establishes an incentive for more people to participate in technology, teach other up-and-coming developers and to create thriving, symbiotic communities that are constantly changing and growing as technology grows. This increases the level of competition and quality of projects across the industry.
