Unsubstantiated, self-serving FUD from Oracle.

  It's self-serving, but I wonder if it might true. Locally hosted applications are a varying mixture of open-source and closed-source, in different proportion in different places. But when they get replaced with SaaS, as is now the fashion, that replacement is almost always commercial closed-source.

    Maybe but most SaaS uses open source.

    Though every SaaS is 99% Open Source software with 1% proprietary sprinkled on top to create the value add. So really these are much more open source than the old vendored solutions where they installed the proprietary software onsite.

    It's not true in all instances of private enterprise I've been involved with. If anything, most people have wanted more OSS.

    The reality is there's simply no way to calculate this accurately.
