As more and more firms are active in OSS, acquisitions of firms active in OSS development occur increasingly often. Yet, despite the economic and practical importance of OSS, research has so far overlooked this phenomenon.This dissertation explores this phenomenon of acquisitions of firms active in OSS development.
