Open source is eating the world:

• A conclusion from the 2015 Future of Open Source survey: “Seventy-eight percent of respondents said their companies run part or all of its operations on OSS and 66 percent said their company creates software for customers built on open source. This statistic has nearly doubled since 2010.”

• Nadia Eghbal, who is doing really great research into the economics of open source, calculated that “open source was worth at least 143M of Instagram’s 1B acquisition.”
