A more subtle reason... (Score:1)

by james (1129)

The threat of making software open source tends to make programmers more careful about the code that they write. Its something that we've experienced a lot at Fotango.

There is something psychological about everybody being able to see the code that makes programmers produce higher quality stuff.

  This was one of the primary reasons I gave when persuading my supervisor. Didn't take much persuasion though -- he knew we used a lot of OSS (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, ...), so he was more than happy to chalk it up to us paying the community back.
