Report: the state of commercial open source

Date:
Mon, 25 Aug 2025 08:54:43 +0000

Description:
The Linux Foundation, in cooperation with a couple of other groups, has 
announced the publication on the intersection of businesses and commercial
open-source software (deemed "COSS").  Everything, it seems, is great, and
COSS companies make a lot of money for their investors. Even more 
encouraging, COSS project communities continue along
	healthy growth paths after the company receives venture funding. In
	essence, highly valued COSS companies tend to cultivate more
	vibrant, diverse, and integral open source ecosystems, reinforcing
	the idea that business value and community value are tightly
	coupled in successful COSS models.
