A study of Linux (The Boston Globe)

This Boston Globe Intelligence column visits with three members of the Boston Consulting Group's Strategy Practice Initiative, as they study a map showing most frequent contributors to Linux, with different colors indicating the number of contributions each has made. "Robert Wolf, Philip Evans, and Mark Blaxill have plenty to say on the topic of Linux. They've been studying it, and open source in general, for more than two years to see whether more general lessons can be learned from the phenomenon. When I stopped by Wednesday night, the three sounded optimistic that they were on to something."
