An announcement on Roberto Galoppini's Commercial Open Source Software site: I am extremely happy to announce the start of a new joint research activity between the FLOSS Metrics project and Roberto Galoppini, one of the most important European researchers working on FLOSS-based business models.
The joint research work will be carried with Carlo Daffara and will be centered on business model taxonomies, and how the participant actors (like the FOSS communities, commercial companies, individual developers) and the licensing choices interact in a commercial exploitation context.
The research will leverage the tools and research work carried in the European project for analyzing OSS project participation and contributions, and as for all of FLOSSMETRICS will be publicly avaliable. Applying measurement to FOSS. I love it. Will FOSS withstand this kind of scrutiny, or will its supporters react defensively by conjuring up all kinds of romantic delusions?
