Definitions
#The Open Source Initiaves (OSI) definition is recognised as the standard or de facto
definition
#Eric S. Raymond and Bruce Perens formed the organisation in February 1998
#With about 20 years of evidence from case histories of closed and open development
already provided by the internet, OSI continued to present the open source case to
commercial businesses
#They sought to bring a higher profile to the practical benefits of freely available
source code and wanted to bring major software businesses and other high-tech
industries into open source
@ This allows end users to review and modify the source code, blueprint or design for their own customization, curiosity or
troubleshooting needs
@ Open source licensed software is mostly available free of charge, though this does not necessarily have to be the case
@ Licenses which only permit non-commercial redistribution or modification of the source code for persona use only are
generally not considered as open source licenses
@ However, open source licenses may have some restrictions, particularly regarding the expression of respect to the origin of
software, such as a requirement to preserve the name of the authors and a copyright statement within the code, or a
requirement to redistibute the licensed software only under the same licenses (as in a copyleft license)
@ One popular set of open source software licenses are those approved by the Open Source Initiave (OSI) based on their
Open Source definition (OSD)
! The term open source was originally intended to be trademarkable, however the term was deemed too descriptive so no
trademark exists
! It offers the potential for a more flexible technology and quicker innovation
! It is said to be more reliable since it typically has thousands of independent programmers testing and fixing bugs of the
software
! It is flexible because modular systems allow programmers to build custom interfaces or add new abilities to it and it is
innivative since open source programs are the product of collaboration among a large number of different programmers
! The mix of divergent perspectives, corporate objectives and personal goals speeds up innovation
