Aren't Most Open Source Based Solutions Hybrids
Don't most application stacks (custom or COTS) that include open source components also include proprietary components? For example, every Vertica implementation is on an open source OS. I know there are many pure open source implementations, but I'd be curious to know if there is any empirical research that would identify the number of hybrid implementations versus pure open source implementations. Anyone have any pointers?
