"... software can be categorized using two axes: an open-closed axis
and a free-proprietary one.[2] The benefits accruing to open-source
software are largely connected to the open-closed axis. It is the
making source code available that allows the peer-review and
correction feedback loop to take off.
Making software proprietary does stem the flow of contributions, of
course; nobody particularly wants to contribute to someone elses
profit at their own cost. To offset this effect, open, proprietary
software can easily provide a renumeration model, offering payment
or royalties for contributions.
There is plenty of software where a proprietary model is simply not
appropriate. ..."
