Enterprise Open Source application is active, but the challenges

I think it is safe when in agreement with that, the open-source development, we are here to stay. Open and collaborative development fundamentally change how not just the code, but the code to do that. It's easier than ever to create complex solutions to reuse existing components. New report examines the Sonatype enterprise open source status. Strongly inclined towards the use of open-source Java, although the trend is interesting. Also it is important to note the Sonatype provides a management software solution is open source, so in this case, they are interested in the game. The data, which is worth the blow to the eye.

Almost 80% of the companies in the call software open source survey. It is interesting that two-thirds of them actively contribute to me: the return code consumes the upstream projects. There are also interesting, just shy of half the companies surveyed is the official open source policy. And those who have an official criteria, half of the respondents cite these policies, such as the adverse development success.

The policy of the official complaints regarding open-source shall be as follows:

It slows down the development
Discover the problems during the process of the late
It's not what you expect from us
There is no taxation

In addition, some organizations open source licensed software, even if the components and dependencies, also limit the use to verify permission. At first glance, it might sound like a big time loss, but in fact this is a good thing: open source license compliance is important and essential to the open-source general life. Of course, if these companies to comply with the license and then step on other copyleft licenses such as the GNU Public License is no longer a great agreement may submit applications.

Sonatype Nexus Professional, a primary product dependency problems, and Sonatype (once again, especially with regard to Java) to a Storage Manager identified in the agreements, the licence. The survey showed that 73% of the companies stay informed using the Web components research, new versions of the manual, or by visiting the Web sites directly to open source projects. Therefore clearly not effective. Code-sharing services also found that GitHub, Google code or SourceForge is not used heavily, as may be provided by the respondents.

The main motivation of this report, of course, the justification for Sonatype products. Emphasis, however, reveals a useful general information. For example, the financial sector is likely to be approved in the fully open source developers to block specific resources. Another interesting revelation: open source software for large companies where all aspects of security, maturity, and the overall quality of the code. Type of permit only a relatively small part of the interest of the respondents.

Regardless of whether the software is open source, the open-source delete introduced care unit is the traditional companies more popularity. Anything that can be done to compliance and consumption, Sonatype-Java and all other languages identified by problems is a good thing.
