Security Top Reason for Using Open Source Software
(September 28, 2007)
According to a survey of companies in India, Australia, China and Korea,
security is the number one reason for using open source software.
Budget concerns and availability of management tools and utilities rank
second and third, respectively. More small and medium sized businesses
than large businesses are using open source software; companies in China
and India are more likely to use open source software than are companies
in Australia and Korea. The results of the study also indicate that
companies use open source software because it can "fulfill their
requirements for specific functionalities."
