8. “This year’s results signal an important shift in how enterprises
view open source – a shift that will have tremendous impact on the
future of development. Open source has proven its quality and
security, and reached the point of democratization and
proliferation. As such, organizations must – and, as our survey
shows, some of the more sophisticated OSS users have already
begun – changing the way they view their role. Understanding
that it’s about more than just cost-cutting or any of the traditional
reasons to simply use OSS; it’s about participating and managing
the logistical challenges to gain competitive advantage, attract top
talent, and influence project direction.”
