2016 Future of Open Source Survey Results

May 3, 2016 opensource , commentary 1 min read

The 2016 Future of Open Source Survey Results are out. I found the 2015 results to be a little more polished and insightful, but there are still a few interesting tidbits:

• 67% of companies surveyed actively encourage developers to contribute to open source
• 1 in 3 have a full-time person dedicated to working on open source
• 90% say open source improves efficiency, interoperability and innovation

There are still some challenges:

• 50 percent of companies surveyed have no formal policy for evaluating and choosing open source code
• Nearly 1/3 of companies have no process for identifying, tracking or remediating known open source vulnerabilities
