	abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) represents an {\textquotedblleft}open innovation{\textquotedblright} paradigm based on knowledge produced and shared by developers and users. New findings from a large survey of European software companies show that: (i) the OSS business model is currently involving almost one third of the industry, although with different intensity; (ii) compared with pure proprietary software producers, OSS firms have a broader product portfolio and are more diversified; moreover, (iii) OSS firms provide more complementary services to their customers; (iv) over time OSS firms increase the share of OS turnover out of the total turnover, becoming more and more OSS oriented; (v) both NOSS and OSS firms do not consider appropriability as a crucial requirement for innovation and do not consider the lack of appropriability as an obstacle to profitability.
