Quote

"The development of the SPO in the country contributes to the active development of the entire ICT industry. The four core software freedoms give market participants a number of important benefits: the system integrator implementing the SOW is not obliged to share a significant part of the IT project budget with foreign software vendors, the customer receives the software product along with the source code and the build system, which ensures independence from the supplier, and the fact that in the SPO market, developers and implementers receive money for their services, and not for the sale of licenses for a once developed product, excludes the situation, when the same job performed once is paid many times by different customers. As a result, a new business model based on the ideas of the SPO contributes to the intensification of creative activity and the development of innovations in the ICT market. Many participants in the Russian ICT market have already realized this: a number of large system integrators, including KORUS Consulting, AiTi, LANIT, Armada and others use SPO in their projects, leading software manufacturers release new versions of their software under free licenses (Sail, Cuneiform and others), government and commercial customers have begun to require software vendors to include the source code and software assembly system in the delivery.
