Open source companies certainly grab headlines because most are small, nimble and Web 2.0 savvy when it comes to market. But don't dismiss the closed-source folks. Saw some news over on CRN that SAS Institute (closed source BI) has zero plans for layoffs this year and the company seems to be holding up pretty well during the recession.

We've been personally experiencing the same momentum mentioned in that report already here in NAmerica. We work Pentaho and have played around with Jaspersoft. Another open source component you didn't mention is Jitterbit's <a href="http://www.jitterbit.com" rel="nofollow">data integration</a> suite, which we use pretty often for its ETL tools. Not a complete BI solution but it works great in situations where clients already have one of closed-source or Saas BI implementations. In this economy BI becomes all the more important for efficiency and the open source options offer the value and the right price. It's a great time to hop on board.
