Interestingly similar modern day example:

" BEA Systems, the fifth-largest application infrastructure software company in
the world, and one of the few Silicon-Valley-based companies which have a
negligible presence in India, also wants to do the same.

However, instead of just setting up a massive captive development centre, it
wants software developers to use its platform to come out with applications.
The $1bn BEA reaches out to them through its dev2dev workshop which it now
conducts annually in India.

“BEA has and will continue to focus on open source projects, as our endeavour
is to broaden industry adoption of open source. We want to grow the pie and the
more we educate developers, the more we move towards growing the open source
community, which ultimately helps in increasing our stand in the market.

“We also see the community supporting our efforts. The biggest advancements are
in the areas of insourcing and commercial outsourcing,ö said Michael Smith,
director of technology, BEA Systems, referring to BEA’s Project Beehive.
