The change is not only recognisable within the OSS communities but most evident effects can be also observed in the {\textquotedblleft}proprietary{\textquotedblright} segment of the market. The data analysis has been performed by allocating a variation towards or away from cooperation/ competition according to the direction of about 12,000 communications, articles and technical notes dated from 1998 up to February 2005. A co-evolution path is identifiable: both the OSS and the proprietary models interchange their original market and production strategies. In the case of the OSS segment, market strategies becomes more business oriented; as a result, systems previously based solely on remote users/producers relations exchange some of the redundancy in its process in favour of a more businessdriven and coordinated production process.
