Abstract

La aparición del Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) y su generalización han modificado las actividades de la cadena de valor de la industria del software. Sin embargo, actualmente no hay una buena base de información estadística que de cuenta de la importancia y el rol que tienen en la economía las empresas FLOSS. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es contribuir a mejorar los métodos de relevamiento y a la discusión sobre las formas de clasificar las empresas FLOSS. Emplearemos una metodología cualitativa y nos basaremos en siete estudios de caso de empresas FLOSS de Argentina, focalizándonos en su grado de colaboración con la comunidad FLOSS y su modelo de negocios. Este estudio nos permitió realizar un análisis crítico de las clasificaciones disponibles de las empresas FLOSS en la literatura, como un primer paso en dirección a delinear una tipología de empresas de este tipo para que puedan ser identificadas mediante relevamientos tecnológicos./ The creation of the Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) and its growth, have modified the value chain of the software industry.
