Here are some predictions about where Open Source is heading in 2025: 1. ????Greater focus on the reputation-building opportunities of OSS across the academic sector. 2. ?? Realization that Gen AI deployment and development for commercial use cases ,must be controlled and managed, regardless of the designated model license. 3. ?? A bold re-visioning of the 'open core' concept, restoring the balance between freedom and reciprocity in the Everything-as-a-Service era. 4. ?? Further rapid evolution of the SCA and Vulnerability Scanning industry against the backdrop of the continuing rise in both the proportion of OSS consumed and the percentage increase in components with known vulnerabilities. Do these things ring true for you? What else may be in the offing? #OSS #GenAI #Academia #opencore #SCA #vulnerabilities
