We define corporate open source (COS) as applying the precepts and methodologies prevalent in the open source development community for creating industrial-strength software projects in a corporation for internal use. It may seem that open source style development - using informal processes, voluntary assignment to tasks, and having few financial incentives - may not be a good match for commercial environments. Our work not only demonstrated that under the right circumstances corporations benefit from open source development techniques, but it also laid the groundwork for the research initiative now called "Inner Source", or the applications of best practices and culture from the open source domain applied to internal corporate software development efforts.
