Open Source software follows in this tradition
In making program sources available, Open Source software seeks to maximize the benefits that result from a number of individuals working to develop and improve application solutions. Individual contributions build upon the existing collective body of knowledge.

Open Source is not the only way of developing and distributing software services, and may not always be appropriate. OSADL certainly acknowledges that there are cases where other distribution methods such as binary distributions of closed-source have their place.
