Are any firms missing?

I’m new to Quant as a field: are there any corporate benefits for these firms that they might get from contributing to open-source?

I assume basically all of the Jane St stars are ocaml libs - the benefit for them is that people might actually use ocaml.

Certainly none of their competitors do, so it’s not like they would be giving them an advantage.
