“…First, we divided our primary concept, the determinants of OSS success, into two subcategories: internal and external factors. Internal determinants of OSS success are factors directly related to software itself, such as the type of license (e.g., Comino et al, 2007;Subramaniam et al, 2009) we investigate open source software (OSS, software quality (e.g., Lee et al, 2009), internal community (e.g., Meissonier et al, 2010), and OSS norms and values (e.g., Stewart & Gosain, 2006), and their potential impacts on OSS success. Because OSS success also depends on external relationships that project members have with developers outside of the focal project (Singh et al, 2011), external determinant factors refers to the impact of external interactions and interest level, such as the community service quality (e.g., Grewal et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2009), network (e.g., Dalhander & Magnusson, 2005;Méndez-Durón & Garcia, 2009), commercialization and sponsorship (e.g., Lerner & Tirole, 2005), and user interest (e.g., Bagozzi & Dholakia, 2006;Von Krogh & Von Hippel, 2006).…”
