"First of all, thank you for having me here, Olimpiu. And yes, my name is Gabriele Columbro. I do two things at the Linux Foundation, I am the general manager of Linux Foundation Europe, our Brussels-based entity, and then I lead one of our foundations, which is FINOS, the FinTech Open Source Foundation, which is a global community of all the financial services constituencies collaborating in open source."
"what I observed during the OpenSource Summit, it was something that personally made me happy, that you had a lot of reports more focused on the impact that open source has on commercial entities, more or less. That's how I translated it, because on one hand, you brought Frank Nagle, who famously put the 90% plus open source into pretty much everything, so that's the paper that he helped put together, and now it's on all slides that 90% of all the software is actually open source."
"And the other one was about financing and open source, and that was quite interesting because we do have examples of a lot of software that is also open source, but it also has a commercial license, and that needed some attention."
Gabriele Columbro serves as general manager of Linux Foundation Europe and leads FINOS, a global FinTech open-source community. The Linux Foundation research arm provides data that guides strategic decisions and influences events. Research and presentations highlight that over 90% of software contains open-source components. Attention is increasing on financing models and hybrid approaches where software is both open source and commercially licensed. Conversations at the OpenSource Summit emphasized the commercial impact of open source, funding challenges, and collaboration across financial services. European investments in open source often exceed direct commercial returns.
