Drivers passing through San Francisco have a new roadside distraction to consider: billboards calling out businesses that don’t cough up for the open source code that they use.
The signs are the work of the Open Source Pledge – a group that launched earlier this month.

So far, 25 companies have signed up – but project co-founder Chad Whitacre wants bigger firms to pay their dues, too.
