Software Freedom Means Business Value
summary
Claims that 78% of businesses use open source and that 88% will contribute within three years anchor the talk in measurable change, with 55% reporting better security and examples like cloud and IoT explained as impossible at scale without permissionless code. Practical cases include an open‑sourced Sun identity manager enabling a vendor takeover without disruption, an open Spark chip release, and OSI shifting to member services and an incubator model; emphasis falls on OSI‑approved licenses and open source escrow as concrete business value.
