In a world where everything technological is overhyped, the word “revolution” is thrown about easily, with declaring the latest electronic toy or fly-by-night software advance “earth-moving” seemingly a race among media outlets and advertising venues.

The sobriquet is often applied to open source technology as well, but this stuff may actually deserve the title.

After all, open source goes against tradition in terms of business culture, research and development techniques, principles of ownership, and even overriding philosophy. Meanwhile, burgeoning in universities is the study of not only how to use open source but how the technology works to develop viable product at all.

Today, we present a rundown of success stories from all spheres that open source touches. Whether through profit margins, spreading the technology to areas thought well outside its reach (check out stories regarding the open-source car project and the open-source film production), or just simply generating greater public awareness, the success of this truly world-changing technology is everywhere.
