summary
Open source is ubiquitous but under-supported: studies show 72% of modern apps include externally sourced components and often only 20% of code is net new, while Synopsys finds >93% of scanned codebases contain OSS and 78% of code is open source. Consumption rates run high but contribution hovers near 20%, creating a free rider syndrome and risking a tragedy of the commons. Recommended fixes are concrete: run an OSPO, inventory dependencies, track projects with tools like Bitergia/Augur, fund strategic projects and document contributor guides.
