Key Trends for 2007:

Increased adoption of open source: On average, enterprises reported using 94 different open source packages, up 26 % from 75 in 2006. Apache license most common license in the enterprise: Breakdown of licenses for the top 25 packages found that Apache, not the GPL, is most common license in packages used in enterprises today. Sixty-two % of the packages use Apache, 27 % use some variant of GPL and 4 % each use BSD, CPL, Eclipse, MPL and Perl licenses. Since packages may be released under two or more licenses, percentages total to more than 100 %. Top 25 open source software packages (includes ties): OpenLogic ranked the most common 25 open source packages (plus ties), as reported by enterprises. Hibernate and Struts topped the list with more than 71 % of customers using each. JasperReports is the only newcomer to the list this year over last year’s report.

In 2008, OpenLogic plans to launch The Open Source Census, which will expand the statistics collected and reported on enterprise open source adoption. The Open Source Census, announced by OpenLogic in December 2007, is a collaborative initiative designed to provide enterprises a way to easily inventory the open source software installed on their machines, and anonymously submit that data to The Open Source Census. Data collected in The Open Source Census will be aggregated and shared publicly on the Internet and will also be available to the enterprises who contribute data.
