> Open source software is changing the way that 
> software is being developed and used, with a 
> significant impact on software developers, 
> vendors, and users. Millions of people use the 
> OpenOffice productivity suite and/or the 
> Firefox web browser. Many of the worlds most 
> heavily used websites are built with open source 
> software, so almost everyone is a user of open 
> source. Software developers also rely on open 
> source development tools and execution 
> environments. Companies are beginning to 
> formulate policies around their use of open 
> source software, as well as adjusting their 
> acquisition, adoption, and development processes.
