Abstract
Open source software was ready for any enterprise by putting its full corporate support behind Linux, the open source ecosystem has matured into a shoulder-to-shoulder companion for commercial proprietary software. A new tapestry of community resources, venture capital, and informal networks of open source veterans championing new applications is being woven through industries and academia. What open source software really does is open up the low end of the market, and it certainly changes dynamics on the global stage.
