Since 2004, the Eclipse Foundation has successfully developed business friendly open source ecosystems. This talk presents how the Eclipse Foundation legal and organisational framework, initially designed to foster both collaboration and commercial exploitation of the Eclipse IDE and the Eclipse Rich Client Platform, has been used to develop open source ecosystems in new domains like IoT, tools for safety critical systems, management of geo spatial data or automotive for the past five years.
