The Business Value of Open Source
Open source accelerates the pace of innovation and creates a valuable competitive edge for companies that use and sell open source software. Thanks to the ongoing contribution of code, exchange of knowledge, and fast feedback loops, open source technology is created, supported, and maintained by a diverse community of experts with cutting edge results.
