Why is IBM delivering UIMA in open source?

UIMA Java Framework FAQ
Releasing the UIMA framework source code to the developer community will accelerate adoption, usage, and value-added innovation around UIMA. This will help to establish UIMA as a standard for integrating text analytics components, which will bring order and interoperability to what is now a highly fragmented market.

Is IBM delivering text analytics as part of the open source delivery?

UIMA Java Framework FAQ
No; however, the source code for some sample analytics that can serve as a guide to building UIMA-compliant analytics is available as part of the UIMA SDK on IBM alphaWorks. In addition, there are already both free and commercial UIMA-compliant analytics available. Free analytics that can work with UIMA include those from OpenNLP and the GATE communities. The OpenNLP analytics are easily wrapped to become UIMA components; sample wrapping code is available in the UIMA SDK examples on alphaWorks.

Why establish an Apache incubator project when UIMA is already in open source on SourceForge?

UIMA Java Framework FAQ
We needed to adopt an approach for allowing multiple people and organizations to participate and contribute to the evolution of the UIMA framework. Our intention is to facilitate the development and interoperability of content analytics so that organizations can extract and utilize the full value of their unstructured information assets. We believe the best way to do this is to create an active development community around UIMA.

Is your software open source?

MusicXML FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
No. We believe that making the MusicXML definition freely available is essential for its spread into the music industry. We do not see a similar advantage to making our own software free or open source. We do not charge people to beta test our software, but we do charge for production versions of our software. We encourage people to build more applications using MusicXML. There are many potential applications, and no one company or group can do everything.

What is Open Source Software?

Dalek Chess Project: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I get asked this all the time, and I like the succinct way Source Forge put it in their own FAQ so the below text is borrowed: In short, Open Source software is software with source code made available to the public, with no fees or royalties for use or distribution. The official definition, as well as the rationale and history behind open source software, can be found at The Open Source Initiative's web site.

What do you mean "open source"?

FAQs | Second Life Grid
Computer software is often produced by writing the software in a human-readable format (the "source code"), and then translating ("compiling") it into a format that is more efficient for computers and easier for end-users to work with (the "executable"). The executable is not designed to be edited, so it's very difficult to modify.

The basis is Open-Standards, Open-Definitions, and fully disclosed interfaces. This is the opposite of 'Proprietary' Software where only the 'Company' knows how something works, and how to build additional applications. Or the 'Company' charges anyone a license fee for using their proprietary software. Many people and businesses embrace the concept that Open-Source should be the basis for computer infrastructure, and basic Information Technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
To leverage existing knowledge and enthusiasm. A closed project can only take advantage of a few minds. As Linux and other projects have shown, a well-run Open Source project can harness the experience and insight of thousands of people---in Software Carpentry's case, the thousands of people who have already used the tools the project initially seeks to replace. To lower barriers to adoption. Freely-available tools are more likely to be picked up in academia than their commercial equivalents.

YAJAF: FAQ
Eventually, if I open up a web IDE, it will be open source. Javascript is inherently 'open source' in that it is an interpreted language (obfuscation isn't really a good solution, and it can be undone by the persistent). I am actually trying to make a living with my company, therefore I could use some kind of a revenue stream. The intent would be to charge for the developer tools (the web based IDE) or monetize via advertising.
