At this level, an organization has an optimized process for managing open source software. The organization has a continuous improvement process in place for open source software management, and it is well integrated with the overall software development process. The organization also has a strategy for consuming open source, contributing to open source software projects and engaging with the open source community.
Use open source to commoditise adjacent capabilities ("complements") so your differentiated products become more valuable.
OSMM Level 5 is about Strategy. At this level, strategy should be action-oriented and expressed as a set of practical plays.
Use open source as an ecosystem strategy: attract contributors, partners, and customers to a shared platform.
Use open source participation to shape enterprise strategy, not just execute engineering tasks.
