Should Adobe open source its whole stack? Argument: AI will erode patents anyway
bennash · x · 2026-10-12
- A widely shared argument calls on Adobe to open source its entire software stack rather than wait for the community to reverse engineer everything into the public domain.
- Adobe holds many patents covering features in its apps and could legally take down open source alternatives, but the author argues models will soon circumvent even patent and legal barriers.
- Better, the argument goes, to open source now and win the community: builders would improve and fix the apps instead of replacing them.
