Open source software adoption in Australia and New Zealand continues to lag significantly behind North America, according to a new report.A recent Forrester survey sheds new light on the true state of open source usage in the region, with only 18% of firms surveyed using Linux in production and just 11% considering its use over the next 12 months.
