 InnerSource Incentives and Disincentives

 Lack of awareness for incentives as well well as disincentives for InnerSource contribution decrease the chances of an InnerSource project receiving contributions; this is addressed by sharing a comprehensive list of potential incentives and disincentives.
 
-# Problem
+## Problem
 
 Soliciting contributions to an InnerSource project in a corporate environment, where every potential contributor is fully utilized is a difficult task.
 Contribution will likely contribute only, if there is an incentive for them to do so and if disincentives are absent.
 Without awareness of these incentives and disincentives, a maintainer will likely face challenges actively soliciting contributions.
 It is important for Trusted Committers to be aware of and advertise incentives for potential contributors.
 
-# Context
+## Context
 
 * Potential contributors in a corporate environment are most likely fully utilized and have no "free" time to contribute to InnerSource projects, especially when they are not directly related to their work.
 * Especially in early stages of InnerSource adoption, potential contributors as well as unexperienced Trusted Committers might not be aware of the incentives of InnerSource contribution.
 
-# Forces
+## Forces
 
 * The more awareness a Trusted Committer has for the potential incentives and disincentives for InnerSource contribution, the more likely will they be able to successfully advertise them and successfully solicit contributions.
 * The higher the incentive to contribute to an InnerSource project, the more likely it will receive contributions.
 * The more potential contributors are aware of incentives for InnerSource contribution, the more likely is their contribution.
 * Even small disincentives will likely deter potential contributors to contribute.

+## Solutions
 
 The incentives and disincentives for InnerSource contribution depend on the concrete organizational context of the InnerSource program.
 This pattern provides a list of potential incentives and disincentives for InnerSource contribution, which allows both Trusted Committers and potential Contributors to quickly assess, which incentives and disincentives are present in their concrete context.
 These are listed in alphabetical order in the following two sections.

-# Resulting Context
+## Resulting Context
 
 Both Trusted Committers and (potential) Contributors are aware of the _potential_ incentives and disincentives for InnerSource contribution.
 They can assess which incentives and disincentives are present in their context and thus make an informed and balanced decision, whether or not to contribute.
 It is less likely that potential contributors don't contribute due to unawareness of incentives.
 Trusted Committers can actively leverage incentives when soliciting contributions.
