SPAM: Open source impossible to avoid, Gartner says

Submitted by alphadogg
alphadogg writes "You can try to avoid open source, but it's probably easier to get out of the IT business altogether. By 2011, at least 80% of commercial software will contain significant amounts of open source code, according to Gartner."To some of you, this is shocking, you don't believe this," Gartner research vice president Mark Driver said Wednesday during the keynote session of Gartner's Open Source Summit in Las Vegas. "Others are saying, 'Forget 2011, it's already here today.'" Even if they don't plan to use software that's fully open source, network executives should pay attention to this trend because the open source choices commercial vendors make can expose users to risk or create competitive disadvantages. "Open source is going to come into your network whether you like it or not," Driver said. [spam URL stripped]"
