    Report: the state of commercial open source

    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.
