It benefits society.

It’s free and publicly available, which means anyone with a computer has access to it with no cost. With a low barrier to entry and stable source of capital, projects will generate economic opportunities for participants that stimulate the innovative ideas needed to solve some of today’s biggest challenges.

Communities build better software.

The collective experience and knowledge of thriving communities allow for the faster discovery of new features and quicker elimination of bugs. A growing number of companies recognize this and are being intentional about how open source fits into their software strategy.

It’s essential for business but essentially unfunded.

Open source software creates tremendous business value for commercial users but projects still struggle to share in that value. Fixing this issue involves a progression towards corporate social responsibility, conscious investment decisions, and projects managing contribution credit.
