LXer: Large academic international interdisciplinary study on FLOSS gets the real facts

“The academic grade study has a very, very broad scope and has
collected real world information that is valuable for both
companies and government bodies who are thinking about migration,
and decision-makers in the ICT business. The study is about the
direct economic impact of FLOSS, but also about the more hidden
indirect economical impact of FLOSS, and also compares scenarios of
open and proprietary software futures of Europe. In addition to
that, the study is also about competitiveness of FLOSS software
compared to proprietary software, and also provides a few TCO
comparison case-studies.”
