What is the best in-depth up-to-date survey of the various models that individuals and companies have used to earn money from (or on top of) open source software, and the ups and down thereof? The last thing I saw that I would call systematic was an internal study at a big tech company seven years ago (so not shareable or citable), and even then it documented 20+ approaches. Pointers welcome - thanks.

@gvwilson do you mean business models? We'd like to know too. Check the Practical Open Source call for articles https://opensource.org/blog/practical-open-source-2024-submit-your-proposal

@osi I sent an email to the license-discuss list (I’m a member of the list), but I can’t tell whether the list actually got it. It doesn’t show up in the archives (nothing from May is in the archives, but maybe no mail has been sent this month?): https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org/

Who should I contact to find out if the message was actually received? Maybe there’s moderation happening, and no one has approved it yet?

@ramsey if the message was held in moderation you should have received a notification. There are no messages held in moderation at the moment. Can you please try sending the message again?

There are currently no accepted means by which openness can be validated for AI, yet many organizations are claiming their AI to be “Open Source.” Just as the Open Source Definition serves as the globally accepted standard for Open Source software, so will the Open Source AI Definition act as a standard for openness in AI systems and their components. https://opensource.org/blog/the-open-source-ai-definition-gets-closer-to-reality-with-a-global-workshop-series

“AI is different from regular software and forces all stakeholders to review how the Open Source principles apply to this space,” said Stefano Maffulli, executive director of the OSI. https://opensource.org/blog/the-open-source-ai-definition-gets-closer-to-reality-with-a-global-workshop-series

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) invites the Python community to participate global in the conversation to find the definition of Open Source AI. https://opensource.org/events/open-source-ai-definition-workshop-at-pycon-us

@RL_Dane those are important topics that are covered in separate threads. The workshop was about building collectively the explanation of the Open Source AI Definition, the FAQ document. Follow the public discussion on discuss.opensource.org

Our goal is to ensure that the development and use of Open Source software is at best facilitated and at worst not obstructed by any aspect of the standards development process, the resulting harmonized standards, and the access and IPR terms of those standards. https://opensource.org/blog/cra-standards-request-draft-published

The European Commission recently published a public draft of the standards request associated with the Cyber Resilience Act. For the first time, there is an express requirement to respect the needs of Open Source developers and users. https://opensource.org/blog/cra-standards-request-draft-published #OpenSource #CRA
