“…Our results support the conclusion that the motivations for using OSS components are the changeable source code (Li et al 2005a) and low cost of licensing (Fitzgerald andKenny 2004, Madanmohan andDe 2004).

“…For example, the GNU Public License (GPL) type licenses do not give the licensee unlimited redistribution rights. (Madanmohan andDe 2004, Ruffin andEbert 2004). Although major legal aspects of using OSS components and related strategies for mitigating risks have been discussed (Ruffin and Ebert 2004), few follow-up studies have been performed to examine how the licensing issues are managed in practice.…”

“…It is increasingly common to develop with open source software (OSS) components (Brown and Booch 2002, Fitzgerald and Spinellis and Szyperski 2004). Reusing OSS components (and 'external' components in general) creates challenges for their appropriate selection and proper integration (Madanmohan and De 2004). If an OSS-based system is going to be distributed or sold to the general market, another challenge is how to comply with the terms of licensing for the OSS components that have been used (Brown andBooch 2002, Ruffin andEbert 2004).…”

Chinese software companies are increasingly using open source software (OSS) components in software development. Development with OSS components faces challenges with respect to component selection, component integration, licensing compliance, and system maintenance. Although these issues have been investigated in the industry in other countries, few similar studies have been performed in China. It is therefore difficult for Chinese software companies to be aware of their special issues and to make the necessary improvements. This article describes a questionnaire-based survey of software development with OSS components in Chinese software companies. Data from 47 completed development projects in 43 companies were collected. The results show that the main motivation behind using OSS components was their modifiability and low license cost. Using a web search engine was the most common method of locating OSS components. Local acquaintance and compliance requirements were the major decisive factors in choosing a suitable component. To avoid legal exposure, the common strategy was to use components without licensing constraints. The major cost of OSS-based projects was the cost to learn and understand OSS components. Almost 84% of the components needed bug fixing or other changes to the code. However, close participation with the OSS community was rare.

Abstract. It has become great prominence that business organizations are considering open source software (OSS) when looking for software system solutions. However, building applications based on open source software remains an essential issue for many software developers since the new development process differs from traditional in-house development. In this paper, we present a development process based on our experience on using open source software in application development. The new process emphasizes the early assessment to improve the architecture stability and project manageability by assessing available OSS. A set of measurable assessment criteria is established in assessing OSS candidates and making optimal decisions in the development process. A case study is discussed to show the application of this process.
