Survey Shows Enterprise Open Source Usage Ubiquitous

In the past several years, open source has gone mainstream. A new survey by OpenLogic shows that virtually every enterprise is using open source software. More importantly, open source code is no longer just coming in the “back door” through unsanctioned downloads by enterprises developers. Instead, open source software is being welcomed in through the front door of the enterprise as an equal or preferred alternative to proprietary, closed-source software. These new survey results confirm what many in the open source community have already observed: enterprises have clearly transitioned to a new stage in open source adoption.
