DESCRIPTION:Funding open source development through grants\, public policie
 s\, and community donations is important — but it is only part of the eq
 uation. The long-term sustainability of open source projects also depends 
 on whether real organizations adopt them\, rely on them\, and are willing 
 to invest in their ecosystem. Understanding the customer's perspective —
  and the role that OSPOs can play in lowering the barriers to adoption —
  can unlock a powerful and often overlooked driver of open source success.
