The survey by OSA which was conducted in late June, of over 100 member organisations, found that 83 per cent expect a year-over-year increase in revenue in 2008 from Open Source software and related services.
Respondents' replies suggested, “the market from Open Source software and services is growing and growing fast,” the Alliance said.
Seventy-nine per cent of respondents said that price is the number one driving factor for this growth.
While it appears to be all sunshine and rainbows for Open Source, there are still concerns shown by potential customers who raise concerns the licensing and vendor viability – although this doesn’t seem to worry the OSA.
