Abstract
Open source software (OSS) can be defined as software released under the terms of a license that allows the licensee to use, modify, and redistribute, either gratis or for a fee. While OSS adoption is relatively high in academic and research segment, it is abysmally low in government and corporate segment. There is a need for an innovative business model that motivates the clients to source-in the components from OSS and source-out developed/pre-packaged components to OSS community. This research aims to fill the gap by identifying various factors that influence the adoption of OSS and coming up with a framework/business model that would incentivize IT vendors to embed OSS practices in their process model, which in turn would help increase the adoption of OSS in corporate sector.
