State of Linux and R&D
summary
Linux powers a huge share of devices and infrastructure — 1.5 million mobiles sold daily, 700,000 TVs/day, 95% of supercomputers — and a survey of 19,000 respondents shows companies treat external R&D as core: top-10 tech firms spend about $64B internal R&D yet 91% plan more collaborative development. Firms create dedicated external-R&D teams (Google, IBM, Samsung, Intel examples), use foundations (OpenStack, OpenDaylight, Apache) and aim for an 80/20 split: 80% open source, 20% differentiating value.
