The document outlines the history and evolution of open source and free software, emphasizing key milestones from the 1960s to the present, including significant court cases and foundational movements like the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative. It discusses the philosophical differences between free software, which sees proprietary software as a social issue, and open source software, which focuses on practical business advantages. Additionally, it addresses the importance of community, business models, and ethical considerations in shaping software development and sharing practices.

Service manual included the schematics of the electronics you buy - you always fix!

10. In the 1950s and into the 1960s almost all software was produced by academics and corporate
researchers working in collaboration, often shared as public domain software. As such, it was generally
distributed under the principles of openness and co-operation long established in the fields of academia,
and was not seen as a commodity in itself.
Open Source Software at the Universities

11. An IBM mainframe operating system, Airline Control Program (ACP), from 1967 was also distributed with
source code included. User groups such as that of the IBM 701, called SHARE, and that of Digital
Equipment Corporation (DEC), called DECUS were formed to facilitate the exchange of software.
"SHARE is not an acronym; it's what we do.”
Open Source Software as Standard

12. The rise and fall of Microfsoft, (IBM) and Apple
Commercial influences grew in the software market (1967+)

14. Software was shared via the airwave around 1980

15. Global distribution of software and easy global communication leads to
creation of FSF/GNU (1983) and OSI (1998( to counter close source software
practices.

20. OPEN SOURCE
The two families

21. The two families vs closed source

22. Free Software Foundation Open Source Initiative
“In 1983, Richard
Stallman published the
GNU Manifesto and
launched the GNU Project
to write a complete
operating system free
from constraints on use of
its source code. ”
“The organization was
founded in February 1998
by Bruce Perens and Eric
S. Raymond, part of a
group inspired by the
Netscape
Communications
Corporation...”
The two families

23. Free Software Foundation Open Source Initiative
“For the Open Source
movement, non-free
software is a suboptimal
solution. For the Free
Software movement,
non-free software is a
social problem and free
software is the solution.”
“dump the moralizing and
confrontational attitude
that had been associated
with 'free software' in the
past and sell the idea
strictly on the same
pragmatic, business-case
grounds that had
motivated Netscape.”
The two families talk about each other

24. 1. The freedom to run the program as you
wish, for any purpose .
2. The freedom to study how the program
works, and change it so it does your
computing as you wish.
3. The freedom to redistribute copies so
you can help your neighbor.
4. The freedom to distribute copies of your
modified versions to others.
1. Free Redistribution
2. Source Code Availability
3. Derived Works Permitted
4. Integrity of Author’s Source Code
5. No Discrimination Against Persons or
Groups
6. No Discrimination against Fields of
Endeavor
7. Same Distribution License
8. License not Specific to a Product
9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software
10. License Must be Technology Neutral
The two families and their own definition of open
By doing this you can give the whole
community a chance to benefit from your
changes. Access to the source code is a
precondition for this.

36. “Whether community is important or
not is dependant on: your business
model (Open Source), and/or your
ethics (Free Software)”

37. Your business model (Open Source),
and/or your ethics (Free Software)
Define:
● How you interact with client.
● What type of people should be
part of the team.
This all defines:
● your culture,
● your working space,
● your way of cooperation.
and that defines:
Your business model (Open Source),
and/or your ethics (Free Software) etc
It is all connected
