I'm looking for some adoption statistics for open source software. This data might include:
1. number of customers
2 number of installations (instances of the software)
3. location (specific country or region)
extra credit data might include
4. was it the free version or did they buy a licensed fee based copy (e.g. free Linux vs Redhat)
5. any information on the customer such as Fortune 500, 100 or no Fortune at all
Hi sgordon!
Does the question includes the mobile market or just the desktop PC industry? It seems that the market for Linux in the PC market isn't that big. Last year there were debates if the Linux revolution is dead.

Regards!
I'm primarily interested in products that are part of the IT infrastructure of an enterprise. These might include linux OS for servers, mysql databases, apache web servers and the like. So if there is a way to find a common list of "enterprise software" that comes from open source lineage (fee or free) and you can fill in the counts and geographic data that may be good enough.
