Code is not an asset, is a liability.
Code that you own you need to maintain.
There's only so much code that you can realistically own and maintain. If you are smart, you will seek ways of owning strictly what you need, which is the code closer to the core of your business.
If there is code that you need and is not close to the core of your business and does not provide a competitive advantage, open source it.
The worse code always comes from lack of visibility and accountability. Open source promotes visibility and accountability and keeps things working and clean.
A culture of accountability and strong technical skills attracts talent and keeps the company competitive.
