Competency is FOSSbased License selection can influence future business
decisions including code availability Can the code be the “secret”? Core competency must not be outsourced
Support, Packaging, QA, Integration

FOSS and Born Global
FOSS is international by default Created, distributed, maintained and managed
on the network Supply is global Managing demand globally is difficult
Market segmentation, differentiation, etc.
Can FOSS be leveraged to produce Born Global companies ?
