Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to identify the technological risks in the context of open source software (OSS) and suggest an integrative OSS risk taxonomy.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted an extensive literature review followed by expert interviews and applied the method for taxonomy development.
Findings
This research has identified an integrative OSS risk taxonomy composed of 8 categories with 51 risk items.
Originality/value
This taxonomy is a very useful tool for practitioners during the decision-making process when evaluating, assessing and calculating risks related to OSS adoption. Moreover, researchers can use it as a starting point for future studies to better understand the OSS phenomenon.
