Upstream 2024 | Fireside chat: The value of open source software

In this fireside chat, Luis Villa sits down with Frank Nagle, assistant professor in the Strategy Unit at Harvard Business School, to discuss the recent paper called The Value of Open Source Software that Frank co-authored. This paper concluded that open source is worth $8.8 trillion dollars.
