“…First, we identify new ways of adopting OSS as compared to Hauge et al [99] and Ziemer et al [216]. In [99], we present the four roles of OSS integrator, OSS participant, OSS provider, and inner source software participant as possible ways of approaching OSS. In [216], we present cases from companies which adopt OSS through development with OSS practices and tools, development with OSS products, and development of OSS products.…”

“…However, the levels in the fourlevel ladder for resource allocation presented by Grand et al [94] are partly compatible with some of our categories. Table 2 relates our framework to relevant classifications in [94,99,216]. …”

“…[94] Develops a four level model for resource allocation to OSS, showing varying dedication to OSS. [99] Illustrates four different ways of adopting OSS. [98] Shows that about 50% of the Norwegian software industry integrates OSS into their products, that about 16% participate in the development of OSS products controlled by someone else, and that about 5% provides their own OSS products.…”

Context: Open source software (OSS) is changing the way organizations develop, acquire, use, and commercialize software. Objective: This paper seeks to identify how organizations adopt OSS, classify the literature according to these ways of adopting OSS, and with a focus on software development evaluate the research on adoption of OSS in organizations. Method: Based on the systematic literature review method we reviewed publications from 24 journals and seven conference and workshop proceedings, published between 1998 and 2008. From a population of 24289 papers, we identified 112 papers which provide empirical evidence on how organizations actually adopt OSS. Results: We show that adopting OSS involves more than simply using OSS products. We moreover provide a classification framework consisting of six distinctly different ways in which organizations adopt OSS. This framework is used to illustrate some of the opportunities and challenges organizations meet when approaching OSS, to show that OSS can be adopted successfully in different ways, and to organize and review existing research. We find that this research does not sufficiently describe the context of the organizations studied. It is furthermore fragmented and fails to benefit fully from related research fields. Finally, we present directions for future research.

“…One way is to integrate OSS components in Component-Based Software Development (CBSD), which has become a standard way of building largescale systems. In such a setting, a software development organization has the role of OSS integrator [2]. Building systems from externally and independently developed components is not without risks.…”

Abstract. Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly used in ComponentBased Software Development (CBSD) of large software systems. An important issue in CBSD is selection of suitable components. Various OSS selection methods have been proposed, but most of them do not consider the software architecture aspects of OSS products. The Software Architecture (SA) research community refers to a product's architectural information, such as design decisions and underlying rationale, and used architecture patterns, as Architecture Knowledge (AK). In order to investigate the importance of AK of OSS components in integration, we conducted an exploratory empirical study. Based on in-depth interviews with 12 IT professionals, this paper presents insights into the following questions: 1) what AK of OSS is needed? 2) Why is AK of OSS needed? 3) Is AK of OSS generally available? And 4) what is the relative importance of AK? Based on these new insights, we provide a research agenda to further the research field of software architecture in OSS.

Abstract. Is Open Source Software (OSS) undergoing a transformation to a more commercially viable form? We have performed a survey to investigate the adoption of OSS in the Norwegian software industry. The survey was based on an extensive screening of software companies, with more than 700 responses. The survey results support the transformation predicted by Fitzgerald [4]. Close to 50% of the software industry integrate OSS components into vertical solutions serving all major business sectors. In addition, more than 30% of the 95 respondents in our survey have more than 40% of their income from OSS related services or software. The extensive adoption of OSS in the software industry may be a precursor of the OSS adoption in other business sectors.
