Commercial open source software firms depend on an ecosystem consisting of individuals and organizations to develop and support the necessary source code, services, and delivery conditions. The structure and function of this ecosystem, as a social system and technological platform, evolves based on its membership composition and the ensuing differentiation and integration of these members’ contributions. Based on an explanatory case study, we conclude that researchers and practitioners can benefit from an increased attention to these composition and interactions within a given software ecosystem.
