Evolution patterns of open-source software systems and communities (2002, background): “Unlike most previous studies [1, 7, 9] on software evolution that focus on the evolution of the system per se, such as the growth of size, the decay of architecture and design, and the of defect density, our study takes a broader perspective: It examines not only the evolution of OSS systems, but…”
Survey of Research on Software Clones (2006, methodology): “Several authors have used clone detection techniques or at least a code similarity measure to determine this mapping [77, 78, 79, 26, 80, 81, 82].”
An empirical study of open-source and closed-source software products (2004, background): “Godfrey and Tu [4] investigate the evolution of Linux with regard to development and stable releases.”
The New C Standard (Excerpted material) An Economic and Cultural Commentary (2008, unknown): “For instance, an analysis, by Godfrey and Tu[6] of 96 releases of the source of the Linux kernel application evolution found that the number of uncommented lines of code closely fitted the equation 0.”
Striking a balance between trust and control in a virtual organization: a content analysis of open source software case studies (2001, background): “…without addressing the coordination processes that developers and project leaders employed; or (4) they were ‘case studies’ of the resulting software artifacts themselves, rather than studies of the work practices that were employed to create them (Godfrey & Tu, 2000; Koch & Schneider, 2000).”
"Cloning Considered Harmful" Considered Harmful (2006, background): “In [17] a preliminary investigation of cloning among Linux SCSI drivers was performed.”
