Askey: Why Librarians/Library Programmers Don’t Submit CodePerfectionism: unless the code is perfect, we don’t want anyone to see itDependency: if we share this with you, you will never leave us aloneQuirkiness: we’d gladly share, but we can’t since we’re so weirdRedundancy: we think your project is neat, but we can do betterCompetitiveness: we want to be the acknowledged leaderMisunderstanding: a fundamental inability to understand how an open source community works
