Overview

I've been thinking about open source in the defence tech industry. I was reading Supabase's Should I Open Source my Company?, which highlights the benefits of building an open source company like Supabase. I wanted to add some nuance which might be useful for certain companies and industries. All things being equal, I would strongly prefer working on open source or running an open source company. Unfortunately, not all things are equal. For example, in the context of Russian invasion of Ukraine, innovations in Ukraine last between 3 to 6 months and we need to constantly innovate just to keep up. l'd hate to open source key technologies and reduce that window of advantage to adversaries who invade countries.
