Siemens pulls the plug on OpenRadioss open-source project
Original: Open Source with an expiration date? Siemens changes course on Radioss Siemens is ending the OpenRadioss open-source pro
Siemens is ending the OpenRadioss open-source project, the crash-simulation code it had released to the community. The public source code repository is no longer accessible, and the company is replacing the open model with a closed research and development program. Observers are questioning what this means for the reliability of corporate-backed open source, with some seeing it as a warning that open-source commitments from large vendors can come with an expiration date.
Why now: The sudden closure of a once-open industrial simulation code raises concerns about the trustworthiness of corporate open-source commitments.
