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.
