Around the same time, a bunch of us were having a discussion about the potential impact of packaged style OSS applications. All of us missed the publication of Economic Impact of Open Source Software on Innovation and the Competitiveness of the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Sector in the EU. Yes I know - you’re terrified already. Fortunately, JP Rangaswami has flipped through all 287 pages and provides his unique perspective. But by far the most interesting analysis (for me) comes from Matt Asay over at Infoworld who says: The existing base of quality FLOSS applications with reasonable quality control and distribution would cost firms almost Euro 12 billion to reproduce internally. This code base has been doubling every 18-24 months over the past eight years, and this growth is projected to continue for several more years [...] [...] Erik then goes on to muse that an awful lot of money must have been diverted to OSS for which he uses a rough estimate of Compiere downloads.
