1 Paradigm shift in software development practices (Sowe,et. al., 2007)
Software can be developed and maintained by a communityof volunteers (Cathedral vs Bazaar style of development).Time can be saved through software reusing,Why (”re-inventing the wheel”) develop a system/applicationfrom scratch?

Direct Impact
The UNU-MERIT FLOSS Impact Study shows...
Market share (OS and PCs) and penetration higher andcontinue to grow in Europe than in the US, followed byAsia.
FLOSS adoption is largely driven by SMEs.
FLOSS applications in use would cost firms almost Euro12 billion to reproduce.
