The open source development process differs sharply from the
traditional commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) model. Eric Raymond likens
the corporate or traditional COTS model, whereby a corporation
produces and sells proprietary software, to a cathedral and the open
source model to a bazaar. In the corporate model, individuals or small
groups of individuals quietly and reverently develop software in
isolation, without releasing a beta version before it is deemed ready.
In contrast, the open source model relies on a network of "volunteer"
programmers, with differing styles and agendas, who develop and debug
the code in parallel. From the submitted modifications, the delegated
leader chooses whether or not to accept one of the modifications. If
the leader thinks the modification will benefit many users, he will
choose the best code from all of the submittals and incorporate it
into the OSS updates. The software is released early and often.
