The State of Open Source in 2025
Briefly

OpenLogic's 2025 State of Open Source Report provides a critical view of FOSS adoption in modern enterprises. While the report highlights that 96% of organizations use free and open-source software and many have increased their usage, it underscores a disconcerting trend: over 25% of organizations, including 40% of larger enterprises, still rely on outdated technologies like CentOS. This raises questions about the effectiveness and security of their tech stacks amidst the ongoing push for modern cloud, container, and data solutions, suggesting that the industry faces significant challenges even as adoption rates soar.
