Collaboration instead of competition
Open source software is an elementary component of most software applications in companies. Companies often use open source software for cost reasons or for reasons of security and stability of the offering.

Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as corporations, also benefit from open source as a collaboration method and ecosystem strategy.
