Economic impact of FOSS in general (the article actually mentions java script libraries): http://radar.oreilly.com/2012/07/open-source-small-business-report.html

EU study about the economic impact of FOSS (somewhat dated - 2006, but interesting to read in comparison): http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/ict/files/2006-11-20-flossimpact_en.pdf

  • FLOSS market penetration is also high – a large share of private and public organisations report some use of FLOSS in most application domains.

  • Almost two-thirds of FLOSS software is still written by individuals

A presentation about FOSS effects (recent but a jumble of information): http://de.slideshare.net/SFScon/04-carlo-daffarasfscon

A published FOSS case study about economic impact: http://www.openhealthnews.com/blogs/groenpj/2012-07-29/latest-report-about-economic-impact-open-source-small-mid-size-businesses
