Notas do Editor
Adoption may include the use of end user or server software
Unclear which software and sectors they have included. Sampling is also sometimes quite unclear. I am not the one to point fingers but we can all get better at this There has been some research on the adoption of OSS products like: Linux, OpenOffice and Apache HTTP Server. Most of this research has been in the public sector. Most studies in the industry have consisted of a mixed sample from different sectors. Mention Christina Rossi and their effort they talk about the software sector as NACE 72.00
Highlight the differences between companies and company size in the FLOSS report
Contacting the by phone helps increase response rates and gives extra information Reminders are imperative
Duplicates Inactive companies Companies doing all sorts of other things New companies we might have missed The Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities (CCRLE)
Ask audience about their thoughts
Most companies are, not surprisingly, using a hybrid business model However, a significant amount have a large share of their income from OSS related activities
Companies in Norway are small Person hours are expensive The CCREL is not 100% correct
