Just how strong is Red Hat's open-source business?
,----[ Quote ]
| One of Red Hat's big initiatives for FY 2010 is to increase the rate of
| adoption of its for-fee products from prospects still using for-free versions
| of its software (Fedora, CentOS, etc.), a process it only started in late
| 2008. As Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst notes in the earnings call, enterprises
| often find it "very expensive" to support themselves. As the data above
| suggests, Red Hat is getting better at convincing them to move to Red Hat's
| subscription offerings.

Where In the World Is Open Source Software?
,----[ Quote ]
| The research, conducted by Georgia Tech, is based on the prevalence and
| acceptance of open source software in 75 different countries around the
| world. Each country was awarded points for "its policies, practices, and
| other data in the fields of Government, Industry, and Community." The data
| also takes into account that, though some countries have may not have a
| particularly high rate of FOSS use, the fact that it holds several IT patents
| or has a large number of Internet users indicates a open source software has
| a high potential of gaining traction in the future.
