According to some recent research from IDC direct revenues generated by Open Source companies are going to increase by almost 25% annually, from 1.7 million in 2007 to 4.8 million in 2012. This includes only revenues generated by Open Source software that is directly distributed by the companies behind the projects. Geht es nach dem Marktforschungsinstitut IDC, wird der erzielte Umsatz mit Open-Source-Software (OSS) bis ins Jahr 2012 jährlich um fast 25 Prozent auf 4,8 Milliarden US-Dollar anwachsen. Im vergangenen Jahr wurden mit OSS rund 1,7 Milliarden US-Dollar umgesetzt. In reality though this is only a small share of the revenues enabled through Open Source software.
