Apache Software Foundation Estimates Its Code Value Increased ~$600M For FY2020

For fiscal year 2019 the Apache Software Foundation valued their codebase at around $20 billion USD. The open-source organization has now published their annual report for fiscal year 2020.

The Apache Software Foundation's FY2020 report values their massive code-base now in excess of $20 billion dollars using the CoCoMo[*] model. With eight million lines of code added over their fiscal year, they estimate that increase to be approximately worth $600 million USD worth of work.

[*] Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO).

    People do pay for it. ASF has revenues in the neighborhood of $1 Billion. [apache.org]

    Think you are a few orders of magnitude out - revenues were around $1 Million, check the actual filings, or just google Apache Foundation Revenue

    Getting $1M a year from a $20Bn asset is... frankly pathetic.

    Conclusion: it ain't a $20Bn asset. The asset lines of the tax filings also prove that it isn't considered to be one either.

      You are right. I was looking at financials that were in thousands of dollars earlier yesterday and I think my brain defaulted back again when looking at theirs.
