The 2025 State of Open Source Report confirms that open source adoption is still surging, with 96% of organizations increasing or maintaining their amount of OSS in the past year. However, challenges around end-of-life (EOL) software, data management, compliance, and skill gaps, particularly around data technologies, persist and create obstacles to deploying open source.
