I understand, but no company (especially Facebook) would spend money on something if they didn't see a return from it (I remember 20 years ago Google received a lot of praise for being different, now we know they aren't). When a company like Facebook or Google open source something it is to:

  • have free contributors to technology they use internally
  • make sure that their standard dominates so they can still steer in the direction they want
