Why are chip companies allergic to open source?
A blog post from Zero ASIC asks why major chip companies remain reluctant to embrace open source hardware, despite its success in software. The piece, drawing comparisons to how GitHub stars signal momentum in open source software, argues that semiconductor firms miss out on community-driven innovation and talent by keeping their designs closed. Readers in the hardware engineering community are debating whether the business case for proprietary silicon still holds.
Why now: It sparks debate among engineers about why the open source model that transformed software has not taken hold in the chip industry.
