As part of its annual Open Source Software Development Survey, Sonatype
queried 2,500 developers, architects, and IT managers across all
industries, company sizes, and geographic regions so as to better
understand how organizations adopt, use, and support open source
software.

Nearly 80 percent of those surveyed use open source tools, the data
suggests, while half standardize on an open source development
infrastructure stack. A full two-thirds, meanwhile, contribute to open
source projects.
