“We’re trying to create order out of chaos,” CEO Wayne Jackson of Sonatype told Forbes. By chaos, Jackson is referring to the avalanche of open source software code out there that’s used anonymously for some very important projects. GitHub.com alone hosts some 40 million developers, he pointed out.
“We are building the world’s critical infrastructure on software somebody else wrote, a stranger with unknown skills, motivations and desires, but the desire to innovate is so high, we’re willing to accept the risk of using some random person’s software invention,” Jackson said.
