Is this a common term?

It seems to only be used by O'Reilly. I think the page may need to be merged with Open-source model or Open-source software development. Power~enwiki (talk) 02:37, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Although there are other terms such as internal open source, or progressive open source, inner source is an established term in the scientific and industrial context. Other authors use inner source as well, e.g. http://rdcu.be/uqLQ or https://books.google.de/books?id=oKt9CAAAQBAJ&dq=inner+source+software+development+book&hl=de&source=gbs_navlinks_s
  • I do not think it makes sense to merge these two articles. There are big differences between open source and inner source development, e.g. accessibility (open source is/should be open for everyone, but inner source is restricted to the boundaries of a company), licensing, taxation, etc. The challenges are also different.
