Binpress Integrates with Github, Adds a Commercial Layer Over Open-Source

Mountain View, CA, January 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Binpress (http://www.binpress.com) integrates with Github, adds a commercial layer over open-source.

Binpress, a source-code discovery service and marketplace, is making open-source a viable business and trying to improve the way software is developed.

Launched January 2011, Binpress offers a platform for software development companies and developers to publish and discover source-code components for rapid development. Source-code components offered on the marketplace are curated to meet industry standards and best practices, offering best-in-class solutions for common needs in software development that reduce the time and costs of developing software.

Source-code publishers can offer commercial licenses in addition to free licenses, allowing open-source projects to offer support and future enhancements and to operate as a viable business, increasing sustainability and quality of available solutions.

Binpress has just announced an integration with Github, a popular git repository (file versioning) service and a directory for open-source projects. Github users can register and log-in using their Github account and then import Github projects directly as Binpress components - allowing Github developers to offer commercial licenses in addition to free licenses and thus make a viable business out of supporting their projects.

Originally from Tel Aviv, Israel, and now residing in Mountain View in the Silicon Valley, Binpress hopes to reduce duplication of effort in software development and reward top-level developers for sharing for code and expertise.
