Open-Source-Projekte zwischen Passion und Kalkül

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven zur Zukunft der Wertschöpfung

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Aufsatz gibt einen systematisierenden Überblick über Open-Source-Communities und ihre sozioökonomischen Kontexte. Zunächst erfolgt eine Rekonstruktion der Ausdifferenzierung quelloffener Softwareprojekte. Daran anknüpfend werden vier idealtypische Varianten derzeitiger Open-Source-Projekte voneinander abgegrenzt. Anschließend wird aus technik- soziologischer Sicht diskutiert, weshalb quelloffene Softwareprojekte ihre Formatierung als Gegenentwurf zur kommerziellen Produktion inzwischen verloren haben, aber im Unterschied zu früheren Spielarten der kollektiven Invention überlebensfähig geblieben sind.
