Abstract

Open source software has become part of the mainstream of software development, with the adoption of open source by a large majority of business and governmental organizations. Results of recent surveys [1] indicate that 95% of responding organizations use open source in mission critical software applications and plan to increase spending on open source activities in the coming years.
