FOSS: The Invisible Backbone of Today's Software Landscape

, 3 min read

The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement has significantly evolved since its beginnings, becoming an integral part of today’s software landscape. A recent study by the Linux Foundation in collaboration with the Core Infrastructure Initiative indicates that an impressive 80-90% of contemporary software incorporates FOSS components. This underscores FOSS’s pivotal role as a foundational element in software development across multiple sectors.

The Linux Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the advancement and adoption of Linux and open-source technologies, has played a crucial role in the proliferation of FOSS. Similarly, the Core Infrastructure Initiative, backed by the Linux Foundation, focuses on enhancing the security and longevity of essential open-source projects.
