摘要：
This article formulates and tests a set of hypotheses about the success of open source software projects with respect to market penetration and human resource attraction. The authors collected data from 1025 open source software projects in a longitudinal study. The cross-sectional results show that the extent of a project's operating systems, the range of translated languages, programming languages, and project age positively impact OSS projects' positive outcomes with respect to market penetration and human resource attraction.
