Free/Libre and Open Source Software:
Survey and Study
Introduction
Technological and socio-economic changes known as the "New Information
Society/Economy" are re-introducing the notion of production, consumption
and trade of goods and services without the direct or obvious involvement
of money. Such "non-monetary/trans-monetary" economic activity is
difficult to measure through usual monetary indicators. This project aims
to remedy this situation by identifying and developing indicators of such
activity through a case study of OS/FS: Open Source/Free Software.
A survey of users and developers will provide the first comprehensive base
of hard data on OS/FS; indicators of measurement including monetary are
applied on this domain through this survey; and a unique survey of OS/F
software source code will measure authors? contributions and other
indicators. OS/FS business models and best practices and policy/regulatory
impact assessed. While focusing on OS/FS, FLOSS will have implications for
measuring and modelling the New Economy as a whole.
