Executive Summary
Open source software adoption in Australia and New Zealand (Australasia) continues to lag significantly behind North America. A recent Forrester survey sheds new light on the true state of open source usage in the region. Only 18% of firms surveyed were using Linux in production and a mere 11% were considering its use over the next 12 months. The news is worse for other open source software, such as JBoss or MySQL, with only 12% production use and a mere 4% considering adoption in 2006. Forrester expects adoption rates to remain low as organizations continue to lean on traditional software vendor models in the absence of specific open source policies covering more than simply procurement.
