Overview: The buzzword "Open source software" is gaining in importance and popularity in public, and more and more people are interested in this phenomenon. Yet up until now most of the literature concerning open source has mainly dealt with the technical aspects of the software. The non-technical side, such as discussing the economic aspects in an overall concept, has been neglected thus far.

Additionally business models will be described briefly, divided into two categories: the product-related and service-related. Both business models can be applied to participants in the open source model.
