Abstract

Der vorliegende Beitrag rekonstruiert die sich wandelnden Beziehungen zwischen Open-Source-Communitys und IT-Markt. Dabei zeigt sich, dass quelloffene und proprietäre Softwareentwicklung bzw. projektförmige Kollaborationsmuster in Open-Source-Gemeinschaften und eingespielte sozioökonomische Koordinationsweisen weniger in einem konkurrierenden als in einem komplementären Verhältnis zueinander stehen. Während freie Softwareentwicklung zunächst subversiv konnotiert war und in geschützten Nischen stattfand, ist das Involvement in Open-Source-Projekte heute zu einem festen Baustein der Innovationsstrategien aller großen Anbieter geworden.
