Considerations for Keeping Your Code Closed Source
You should consider not releasing your code as open source if your business model relies on maintaining a competitive edge and generating revenue from software sales. Following OpenAI's example, keeping your code closed source allows you to control distribution and directly monetize your innovations. It also protects your intellectual property and ensures that you can provide high-quality support and services to your customers, which often serves as an additional revenue stream. This decision is not solely about security and ethics; it's also about establishing a strong financial foundation for sustainable growth.
