Why unix is open source?
Were there any drawbacks to making it open source?
One drawback was that some companies were hesitant to use Unix because it lacked commercial support. However, this changed over time as businesses began to see the benefits of using a robust and customizable operating system. Another potential issue was that the open source nature of Unix made it vulnerable to exploits and vulnerabilities, but this was mitigated by the large community of developers who were constantly working to patch and fix any issues.
