<i>How does your startup contribute back?</i><p>Everything we do[1][2] at Fogbeam Labs is Open Source.  And I mean, really, truly Open Source, not &quot;faux-pen source&quot;. Our code is on GitHub, most everything is Apache ALv2 licensed, the issue tracker is public, and we use open mailing lists &#x2F; IRC for project communication.<p>We try to avoid the &quot;throw it over the wall&quot; style of development in that sense.  The biggest wart with our approach right now is that we don&#x27;t have a lot of community collaborators who aren&#x27;t part of Fogbeam, so there&#x27;s not a lot of discussion with &quot;the community&quot;.  But that&#x27;s because we haven&#x27;t grown much of a community yet to discuss with.<p>We are also open to receiving pull requests &#x2F; patches and don&#x27;t ask for a CLA or any copyright assignment.  The only expectation is that any contributions are licensed under the Apache ALv2 or corresponding license (which will always be a mainstream, OSI approved OSS license, not some weird license we make up ourselves).<p>[1]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fogbeam.github.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fogbeam.github.io&#x2F;</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fogbeam" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fogbeam</a>
