> I can assure you that Open Source not only competes, it is actually winning everywhere. And business models exist that are fair to all sides, allowing us to employ a lot of developers and participating in upstream.
It would be great to see not only an assertion but an article that spells this out in some detail.
The Black Duck Open Source Survey 2016 is a good starting point IMHO, especially the first third.

Why would you need an article? Most large tech companies share their infrastructure on their tech blogs, and most often it's completely composed of open-source software (e.g. Kafka, Nginx, Storm, Postgres, Redis, other Apache products, etc.).
This discussion goes well beyond infrastructure.
