Abstract

Many companies use free open-source software (FLOSS) in their business proposals. There are many case studies of open-source business models. Yet there is no comprehensive analysis articulating these different open-source models. This is this article's aim. Based on the business model framework, and the IS literature, we start from the needs of FLOSS to propose a typology of open-source business models. This allows us to discuss the links between value capture and key resources. The open-source model appears to be based on the management and control of software evolution dynamics ("softwareflux"), in an industry that has become accustomed to selling products ("software-stock").
