Assessing the Role of Open Source Software in the
European Secondary Software Sector: A Voice from Industry.
In: 1st International Conference on Open Source Software, 11-15 July 2005, Genoa, Italy.
Abstract
This paper addresses the open source software
(OSS) phenomenon from an industry perspective and reveals
a number of complexities surrounding the role of OSS in the
secondary software sector. It presents the research results of
an international workshop which was hosted with the explicit
intention of extracting the voice of key industrial
stakeholders. The data was gathered and analysed using a
qualitative approach which revealed the key strengths and
weaknesses of OSS from an industrial perspective. This
formed the foundations for developing a framework
describing the emerging commercial incarnation of OSS (we
refer to this as Open Source Software, Inc.) The paper
concludes that the European secondary software sector
recognise the benefits of leveraging OSS but are aware of key
issues pertinent to such an end.
