Interesting article about Netflix. I would have never suspected that they were open-sourced as many of the big tech-based or internet companies don’t seem to adopt an open source policy.
Given that streaming services seems to be where television and other entertainment seems to be headed, I wonder if Netflix will end up closing down their open source projects eventually.
