Abstract :
This paper investigates to what extent Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) is present in the Tunisian software business sector. We derive an empirical adoption model highlighting the main facilitators and inhibitors. Our key findings suggest that the level of FLOSS adoption in Tunisia is significant. However, the situation could be improved once the identified problems are addressed.
