What’s the ROI of contributing to #opensource?

Upstream contributors reduce costs, improve security response (66% faster), and increase development speed (~10%), with returns up to 6x. They also gain influence over project direction and attract top talent. Learn more: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/research/contribution-roi

Linux Foundation Europe 6d ago

Research from the Linux Foundation shows open source contributions can deliver up to 6x ROI.

Without OSS, 53% would turn to costly licenses and 51% would build from scratch, with critical infrastructure costing ~$3.5M on average.

Organizations investing upstream gain speed, security, and long-term efficiency, with 78% improving over time. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/research/contribution-roi

What’s the ROI of contributing to open source?

Research from the The Linux Foundation shows that organizations not contributing upstream often face hidden costs like private forks—while contributors see faster security fixes, higher dev speed, and up to 6x ROI.

Closing the gap between use and contribution is a strategic advantage. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/research/contribution-roi
