Code4lib Column
Dale Askey, “We Love Open Source Software. No, You Can’t Have Our Code.” Issue 5, 2008-12-15
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/527
Askey: Why Librarians/Library Programmers Don’t Submit Code
Perfectionism: unless the code is perfect, we don’t want anyone to see it
Dependency: if we share this with you, you will never leave us alone
Quirkiness: we’d gladly share, but we can’t since we’re so weird
Redundancy: we think your project is neat, but we can do better
Competitiveness: we want to be the acknowledged leader
Misunderstanding: a fundamental inability to understand how an open source community works
