Enclosure in the context of technology, particularly open-source, refers to the phenomenon where a technology that was initially open and accessible becomes controlled or monopolized by a specific entity or group. This can happen through various means, such as strategic acquisitions, licensing restrictions, or the development of proprietary features that are not available in the open-source version. Some examples of enclosure include:
Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, which led to the discontinuation of the open-source OpenSolaris operating system.
Google's acquisition of Android and the development of proprietary features and services (like Google Play Services) that are not available in the open-source version (AOSP).
Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, which raised concerns about the future of open-source projects hosted on the platform.
These examples illustrate how the enclosure can happen through strategic acquisitions and the development of proprietary features, leading to the control or monopolization of open-source technology.
