An interesting comment I saw today on twitter[0] points out that open source development is more of a development style than a business model. Still, styles can impact the bottom line. Enterprises can gain some efficiency in process (and hiring, as others point out -- working in NIH land without amazing tooling and products to keep you there sucks if you have an inkling of what's widely done and used outside in the open source worlds) by using the model even if they are the only consumers of the final project. You also open yourself up to including other useful open source software, depending on licenses.
