    Derek Sherrell shows a low cost, open source house that he built in 90 days. He is [giving away the plans](https://thataduguy.com/free-adu-plans/) for free for anyone who wants to build their own. Open source is a wonderful concept that should be applied to everything, not just software.

    I have mentioned examples of games that saw commercial success while being open source. And of course, delayed open source is also an option as some other users have said here.

    I think it could be viable for a company to release a game with a “5 year FOSS promise” or something similar

    A lot of old games have become unplayable on modern hardware and operating systems. I wrote an article about how making games open source will keep them playable far into the future. I also discuss how making games open source could be beneficial to developers and companies. Feedback and constructive criticism are most welcome, and in keeping with the open source spirit, I will give you credit if I make any edits based on your feedback.
