Open-source adoption for businesses and corporations come bundled with security concerns and financial projections. HP’s research and development group have come up with FOSSology.org to placate those concerns. In short, FOSSology is HP’s way of addressing open source software management for IT organizations. If HP is successfully able to address concerns of IT staff then this translates into more open-source adoption among businesses. HP has the following to say about their FOSSBazar project.

FOSSBazaar makes HP’s expertise freely available to the software community as part of a collaborative effort with industry-leading software vendors and The Linux Foundation. Coverity, DLA Piper, Google, Novell, Olliance Group, OpenLogic and SourceForge have joined HP to offer online resources, educational documentation and community interaction to address FOSS business issues and promote best FOSS governance practices.
