Open source allow Our motivation for open source allows us to:
- engage communities through projects to create solutions for communities Engage communities whose needs are not met by commercial-off-the-self (COTS) solutions. These needs are diverse and range from unique solutions, customizations to the cost of running software systems over time.
- Create innovative solutions leveraging statemake software innovation more efficient by leveraging common infrastructures and state-of-the-art capabilities.
- design solutions that are extensible and can evolve with a communities needs.
- art open source infrastructures and standards.
- Share share the cost of development across multiple communities . No so no one community is burdened with the entire cost of development.
- Design solutions that are extensible and can evolve with a communities needs through open architectures and clearly defined data driven interfaces.
- Make these solutions available to the masses through the University of Illinois / NCSA Open Source License
