Abstract
A brief look at the available cloud storage software projects reveals that many of them are built as open source efforts. Compared with other server technology, such as application servers, relational databases or messaging systems, this high degree of open source project development represents a special characteristic of cloud storage software. Therefore, when working with this technology also basic issues with open source projects are relevant and should be understood when choosing or evaluating such projects. The issues cover for example the consequence of the licensing for the desired use or the quality of the open source project.
