Much of the innovative programming that powers the Internet, creates operating systems, and produces software is the result of open source code, that is, code that is freely distributed as opposed to being kept secret by those who write it. Leaving source code open has generated some of the most sophisticated developments in computer technology, including, most notably, Linux and Apache, which pose a significant challenge to Microsoft in the marketplace. As Steven Weber discusses, open source's success in a highly competitive industry has subverted many assumptions about how businesses are run, and how intellectual products are created and protected.
