I think what is dead is open source as a novelty that gets you noticed (e.g. Ipso facto having an open source product means the market you're after notices you over your competitors).

Yes, open source brings commercial benefits to a company over closed source but it's not as big of a differentiator because it's quite pervasive now (which is good!)
