(“free open-source software”)

.

.

*’open source’ is ‘source code’ that is made ‘freely available’ for possible ‘modification’ / ‘re-distribution’*

.

‘products’ include permission to…

use the ‘source code’

design documents/content of the ‘product’

.

It most commonly refers to the ‘open-source model’, in which ‘open-source software’ or other products are released under an ‘open-source license’ as part of the ‘open-source-software movement’

Use of the term originated with software, but has expanded beyond the software sector to cover other open content and forms of ‘open collaboration’

.

origins

the term “open source”, as used to describe software, was first proposed by a group of people in the ‘free software movement’ who were critical of the [‘political agenda’ / ‘moral philosophy’] implied in the term “free software” and sought to reframe the discourse to reflect a more ‘commercially-minded position’

Moreover, the ambiguity of the term “free software” was seen as discouraging ‘business adoption’

.

The problem with it is twofold.
1st, … the term “free” is very ambiguous …
Second, the term makes a lot of corporate types nervous

.

the group included…

Christine Peterson

(pick your ‘petersen’)
(trick or treat!)
(pick your poison)
(the other half you need to feel ‘complete’)

it’s actually…

(fgranted, ‘christine peterson’ is just about as ‘common’ a ‘name’ as it can get…)
(in ‘english’ at least)

but still…

(she doesn’t make the TOP 28 ?!? in a ‘google image search’?)

(in 1998, she coined the term “OPEN SOURCE” fer crissakes!)

“what did the ‘top 28’ ever say/do so as to be more ‘notable’ than you?”

(and she called it ‘open course’…and she doesn’t get the credit…

(and aforementioned ‘Eric S. Raymond’)
(“wudda hunk!”)

.

Peterson suggested “open source” at a meeting held at Palo Alto, California, in reaction to Netscape’s announcement in January 1998 of a source code release for ‘navigator’

Linus Torvalds gave his support the following day, and Phil Hughes backed the term in Linux Journal.

Richard Stallman, the founder of the free software movement, initially seemed to adopt the term, but later changed his mind

Netscape released its source code under the Netscape Public License and later under the Mozilla Public License

Raymond was especially active in the effort to popularize the new term.

He made the first public call to the free software community to adopt it in February 1998.

Shortly after, he founded The Open Source Initiative in collaboration with Bruce Perens

The term gained further visibility through an event organized in April 1998 by technology publisher Tim O’Reilly.

Originally titled the “Freeware Summit” and later known as the “Open Source Summit”, the event was attended by the leaders of many of the most important free and open-source projects, including

Linus Torvalds,

Larry Wall,

Brian Behlendorf,

Eric Allman,

Guido van Rossum,

Michael Tiemann,

Paul Vixie,

Jamie Zawinski,

(and the aforementioned ‘Eric Raymond’)

(who supports racial profiling of young black males by police as ‘rational’)

(is extremely vigilant when it comes to ‘avoiding false rape charges’)

(thinks that gays ‘deserved’ to get AIDS because of their promiscuous behavior)

(is a cross-eyed mustachioed ‘neo-pagan’)

(and has ‘cerebral palsy’)

.

At the meeting, alternatives to the term “free software” were discussed.

Tiemann advocated “sourceware” as a new term, while Raymond argued for “open source”.

The assembled developers took a vote, and the winner was announced at a press conference the same evening

Many large formal institutions have sprung up to support the development of the open-source software movement, including the Apache Software Foundation, which supports community projects such as

the open-source framework Apache Hadoop

and the open-source HTTP server Apache HTTP

.

The open-source model and open collaboration

The ‘open-source model’ is a ‘de-centralized software development model’ that encourages ‘open collaboration’, meaning…

“any system of innovation or production that relies on goal-oriented yet loosely coordinated participants who interact to create a product (or service) of economic value, which they make available to contributors and noncontributors alike”

.

\\\a main principle of open-source software development is ‘peer production’, with products such as…\\\

source code

blueprints

documentation

freely available to the public

.

The open-source movement in software began as a response to the limitations of proprietary code.

The model is used for projects such as in

open-source appropriate technology

open-source drug discovery

.

The open-source model for software development inspired the use of the term to refer to other forms of open collaboration, such as in…

Internet forums

mailing lists

online communities

.

Open collaboration is also thought to be the operating principle underlining a gamut of diverse ventures, including

TEDx

Wikipedia

.

Open collaboration is the principle underlying

peer production,

mass collaboration,

and wikinomics

.

It was observed initially in open source software, but can also be found in many other instances, such as in

Internet forums,[15]

mailing lists,[16]

Internet communities,[17]

and many instances of open content,

(such as Creative Commons

.

It also explains some instances of…

crowdsourcing,

collaborative consumption,

and open innovation

.

Riehle et al. define open collaboration as collaboration based on 3 principles of…

egalitarianism

meritocracy

self-organization

.

Levine and Prietula define open collaboration as

“any system of innovation or production that relies on goal-oriented yet loosely coordinated participants who interact to create a product (or service) of economic value, which they make available to contributors and noncontributors alike”

.

This definition captures multiple instances, all joined by similar principles

.

For example, all of the elements — goods of economic value, open access to contribute and consume, interaction and exchange, purposeful yet loosely coordinated work — are present in

an open source software project,

in Wikipedia,

‘or in a user forum or community

.

They can also be present in a commercial website that is based on user-generated content.

In all of these instances of open collaboration, anyone can contribute and anyone can freely partake in the fruits of sharing, which are produced by interacting participants who are loosely coordinated.

An annual conference dedicated to the research and practice of open collaboration is the International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration

(OpenSym, formerly WikiSym)

.

As per its website, the group defines ‘open collaboration’ as “collaboration that is

egalitarian
(everyone can join, no principled or artificial barriers to participation exist),

meritocratic
(decisions and status are merit-based rather than imposed)

self-organizing
(processes adapt to people rather than people adapt to pre-defined processes)”

.

“Open-source license”

Open source promotes universal access via an open-source or free license to a product’s design or blueprint, and universal redistribution of that design or blueprint

Before the phrase open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of other terms.

Open source gained hold in part due to the rise of the Internet

.

The open-source software movement arose to clarify issues relating to…

copyright,

licensing,

domain,

‘consumer issues’

.

An open-source license is a type of license for computer software and other products that allows the source code, blueprint or design to be used, modified or shared (with or without modification) under defined terms and conditions

This allows end users and commercial companies 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 personal 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 redistribute the licensed software only under the same license (as in a copyleft license).

One popular set of open-source software licenses are those approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) based on their Open Source Definition (OSD)

.

Open-source software code

Generally, open source refers to a computer program in which the source code is available to the general public for use for any (including commercial) purpose, or modification from its original design.

Open-source code is meant to be a collaborative effort, where programmers improve upon the source code and share the changes within the community.

Code is released under the terms of a software license.

Depending on the license terms, others may then download, modify, and publish their version (fork) back to the community

.

“Open” versus “free” versus “free and open”

Free and open-source software (FOSS) or Free/Libre and open-source software (FLOSS) is openly shared source code that is licensed without any restrictions on usage, modification, or distribution

Confusion persists about this definition because the “Free”, also known as “Libre”, refers to the freedom of the product not the price, expense, cost, or charge.

For example, “being free to speak” is not the same as “free beer”

Conversely, Richard Stallman argues the obvious meaning of term “open source” is that the source code is public/accessible for inspection, without necessarily any other rights granted, although the proponents of the term say the conditions in the ‘Open Source Definition’ must be fulfilled

.

“Free and open” should not be confused with…

‘public ownership’
(state ownership)

‘deprivatization’
(nationalization)

‘anti-privatization’
(anti-corporate activism)

‘transparent behavior’

.
