Open-source has become serious business. A new IDC study predicts that the market for stand-alone open-source software will reach $5.8 billion in 2011. In 2006, the market was already worth $1.8 billion. IDC found that the open-source market is in a significant stage of growth, as previous barriers to adoption fall away, particularly among business users.
