Default Free Open Source Software Is Costing Vendors $60 Billion

conan1989 writes to tell us that a recent report from the Standish Group is claiming that open source is costing the traditional software market somewhere in the neighborhood of $60 billion per year in revenue. "MySQL Marten Mickos has often spoken of "taking a $10 billion market and making it a $3 billion market."
