5. The ‘3rd Wave’ of open source: Hyperscale Platform players
Cloud vendors are who’s powering open source now
Open source is winning in the data center as the
emerging ”standard” for most of cloud infrastructure
components
“…because they’re in the business of operationalizing
software, not selling it, these companies are perhaps
best positioned to fuel, not destroy, open source for
many years to come.”
6. The ‘4th Wave’ of open source adoption: Enterprise contribution
https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/the-hidden-benefit-of-giving-back-to-open-source-software
• Companies are increasingly using
crowdsourced public goods as inputs for
innovation and production
• Counterintuitively, some firms pay their
employees to contribute to the creation of
these goods, which can be used freely by
their competitors
• They learn by contributing as they receive
feedback from the crowd of more
experienced users and are therefore able
to better capture value from using open
source software
• Contributing firms capture up to 100%
more productive value from usage of OSS
than their free-riding peers
