Key findings: - 80% of organizations increased open-source usage in the past 12 months ([p.8](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=8)). - Top adoption drivers: access to innovation and latest tech, cost reduction, and avoiding vendor lock-in ([p.13–16](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=13)). - Biggest challenges: security/compliance, skills gaps, installations/upgrades/configuration, and keeping up with patches ([p.17–18](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=17)). - Most invested categories: SDLC tools, containers/orchestration, and data technologies ([p.10–12](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=10)). - Maturity is rising: 46% perform OSS vulnerability scans; 36.8% contribute to OSS; growth in OSPOs and legal/license awareness ([p.57–60](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=57)). - WordPress listed among business-critical OSS, alongside Linux, Apache HTTP, Git, Node.js, Tomcat, Jenkins, PHP, and NGINX ([p.57–58](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=57)). ## 📖 Main Content The report synthesizes 872 qualified responses across industries, org sizes, and regions ([p.4–7](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=4)). Adoption is broad and accelerating, especially in cloud-native, DevOps, and AI/ML/DL contexts. Investment patterns mirror usage: organizations are putting budget and staffing behind SDLC and container ecosystems, while data platforms (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and newer entries like SQLite/Timescale) continue to expand ([p.38–41](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=38)). Support bottlenecks cluster around security posture/compliance, staffing proficiency, and lifecycle hygiene (installs, upgrades, EOL management). Regional and industry differences shape motivations: Europe emphasizes cost reduction, North America and Asia emphasize innovation, and the UK/Latin America highlight influence via contribution ([p.16](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=16)). Maturity indicators—SBOMs, security scans, legal/license expertise, innersource, OSPOs—are increasingly common, with large orgs leading on resourced practices and smaller orgs rivaling them in contributions ([p.59–60](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=59)). Stewardship is up across major foundations ([p.62–63](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=62)). Personal insight: This data confirms the professional reality across modern web stacks: the operational excellence gap (upgrades/patches and EOL inertia) remains the most practical risk vector. It also underscores a continued need for structured education (SDLC hygiene, supply chain security, and contribution pathways)—especially relevant for WordPress and PHP ecosystems that straddle legacy and modern cloud-native patterns. ### 🗒️ Notes - Foreword and scope - Vendor-neutral survey with OSI; global respondents ([p.3–4](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=3)). - “4 out of 5” increased OSS usage; optimism about OSS future ([p.4–5](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=4)). - Survey demographics - 872 qualified responses; strong tech sector representation; varied org sizes and regions ([p.4–7](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=4)). - Adoption and investment - 80.04% increased OSS use; containers + SDLC tools most used/invested ([p.8–12](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=8)). - Slight dip in OSS security tool usage (22% → 15.94%) is notable ([p.10](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=10)). - Reasons to adopt OSS - Top reason: access to innovations/latest tech; Europe emphasizes cost; UK/LatAm emphasize contribution/influence ([p.13–16](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=13)). - Support challenges - Top: security policies/compliance; skills gaps; installs/upgrades/config; patches/EOL ([p.17–18](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=17)). - Challenges vary by org size and industry; smaller orgs less focused on compliance, more on install/config ([p.18, 23–24](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=18)). - Technologies landscape - Programming: JS, Python lead; Typescript notable write-in; Java runtimes shift from Oracle Java to OpenJDK/OpenJ9 ([p.30–32](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=30)). - Frameworks: React, Spring Boot, jQuery top; AngularJS still used despite EOL ([p.34–36](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=34)). - Data platforms: OpenSearch rising; SQLite and Timescale show strong usage; industry-specific mixes ([p.38–41, 44–45](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=38)). - Maturity - 46% perform vulnerability scans; 36.79% contribute; OSPO prevalence grows with org size ([p.57–60](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=57)). - Business-critical OSS includes WordPress and PHP alongside infra mainstays ([p.57–58](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=57)). - Stewardship - Sponsorship across Linux Foundation, Apache, Rocky; participation trending up ([p.62–63](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=62)). ## 📚 References - OpenLogic 2023 State of Open Source Report (primary) - OSI: https://opensource.org - Linux Foundation: https://www.linuxfoundation.org ## 🗣️ Paraphrase 1) Original idea: “80% increased OSS usage; adoption widespread across technology types” ([p.8–9](https://www.openlogic.com/system/files/openlogic-2023-state-of-open-source-report.pdf#page=8)) Paraphrase: Four out of five organizations expanded their use of open source in the past year, confirming that OSS is entrenched across nearly every major technology category. 2) Original idea: “Top driver is access to innovation; regional variations exist; UK/LatAm empha - Summary: The content below is not provided. - URL: https://readwise.io/reader/document_raw_content/103028934 Full text of this document omitted because this document is a PDF [Download original file →](https://readwise.io/reader/document_raw_content/103028934), 2023_Open_Source_Report, readwise.io, 01hdh9exxk59902qjphq8a5f9c.
