A story from cmswire.com claims:
For a long time now, open source has been gradually expanding into more and more segments of the computing industry. In 2014 though, that gradual trickle became a veritable flood, and software development fundamentally shifted toward an open source model. For the infrastructure software used for scale-out computing, it’s virtually impossible to find examples that are not open source.
Clearly, open source is here to stay. Even if you believe you’re one of those rare open-source-free enterprises, you might want to reevaluate your situation, because chances are that you're using open source software and just don’t know it.
CMSWire has an article outlining key strategies for managing open source adoption in your enterprise.

Many large companies, and pretty much *all* large scale computing oriented companies have realized the long term benefits. Consumers won't until they realize they're locked into proprietary formats that cost them a lot of money, and really, even them most won't care. Despite the wealth in 'civilized' countries these days, most people don't seem capable of thinking further ahead than their next paycheque.
