I wish. I need proof, no narrative.
Please, show data.

I think it can be measured by number of users and also by number of developments offered.

My initial research: ChatGPT 👇🏻

Open Source Is Winning

Enterprise Adoption: A Red Hat report indicates that enterprise open source usage is projected to increase from 29% to 34% over two years, while proprietary software is expected to decline from 45% to 37% in the same period.

AI Integration: Open source AI models, such as Meta's Llama, have been downloaded over a billion times, enabling businesses of all sizes to innovate and compete.

Government and Military Use: Government agencies and the military are increasingly adopting open-source software for infrastructure and operations, recognizing its cost-effectiveness and flexibility.

Education and Healthcare: Educational institutions and healthcare organizations are leveraging open-source software to reduce costs and improve service delivery, with examples like Colorado State University's adoption of open-source administrative systems and the use of OpenMRS in healthcare.


Verifying Open Source Deployment

Checksum Verification: Compare the checksum of the downloaded software with the provided checksum to ensure integrity.

PGP Signature Verification: Use PGP to verify the authenticity of the software by checking the digital signature against the developer's public key.

Reproducible Builds: Compile the source code yourself and compare the resulting binary with the distributed one to ensure they match.

Tools for Binary-Source Matching: Utilize tools like BinPro to assess the similarity between binaries and their source code, which can help determine if the deployed software matches the open-source code.

Code Signing Platforms: Platforms like Sigstore enable developers to sign their code, providing a way to verify that the code has not been tampered with during distribution.
