Thanks for sharing...
... this is a sidebar; tell your boss that even if I personally needed your project (which I don't) tomorrow morning at 08:00, I wouldn't use it even if it cost me money, because it is proprietary. Make sure that your boss knows this. Unless you're in China, closed source is soooo early 1980. Proprietary code is useless code; make sure your boss understands.
Open (free) software is more secure software, is useful software, is 'better' software (why, glad you asked) because the people working on it are free thinkers, because most of the world is finished with proprietary codes , because security and freedom in the 21st century demand it; beyond that when more minds are looking at code it just becomes better. Open actually protects your business better than protectionism... protectionism never works;
just true.
Ifree and open-source software
I have expounded that source opening can help us build and improve our project fast. But boss considers open source as an advertisement and want our team to build a full-feature and bugless BSP ASAP and then open it.
My head felt twice its size.....
