title: Why are there so few open source GWT apps?
body: <p>Something I have found strange since I started working on GWT is how few open source projects there are in this technology. </p>
  
  <p>Initially I was surprised to discover this mainly because GWT itself is open source. But after puzzling over this, my suspicion is that it is mainly used for internal projects by large corporations who already use Java and are using GWT for their RIAs instead of Flex or Rails. My understanding is that large corporations that use Java would tend to have lower contributions to open source because their focus is mainly on internal or commercial applications. </p>
  
  <p>Does this sound like an accurate interpretation or does anyone have a different explanation for this phenomenon?</p>
