abstract = {This paper contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence
on the incentives of firms that engage in Open Source activities.
Data collected by a survey on 146 Italian companies supplying OS
solutions (Open Source firms) show that (surprisingly) intrinsic,
communitybased incentives do play a role but are not, in general,
put into practise. The discrepancy between attitudes and behaviours
is investigated and firms adopting more consistent behaviours are
singled out. Our results are in line with the literature on business
models of firms entering the Open Source field.},
