Open source software refers to software with source code that anyone can access, modify, and share. Examples include Linux, Firefox, and OpenOffice. Proprietary software source code is owned by its creator, and users cannot modify or share it without permission. Open source software is free to use and modify, has better security due to many reviewers, and faster fixes. However, it offers less support and increases business risk. Proprietary software has usability, stability, and tailored support, but users are dependent on the company and cannot verify what the software actually does without the source code. Overall, both approaches have pros and cons depending on the situation and needs.

Open source
Open source software refers to computer programs where the source code is made available to the public with an open source license that allows users to study, change, and improve the design of the software. Open source software is typically developed collaboratively by a community of programmers who improve upon the code and share their changes. It is often funded through universities, personal projects, consulting work, proprietary add-ons, or donations. Some benefits of open source software include lower costs, greater security, avoidance of vendor lock-in, and higher quality code. Widely used examples include the Apache HTTP Server, Mozilla Firefox, Linux, Android, MySQL, Java Development Kit, Eclipse, and content management systems like Wikipedia.

This document provides an introduction to free and open source software (FOSS). It briefly discusses the history of FOSS, from early software freedom in the 1960s-1970s to the founding of the Free Software Foundation by Richard Stallman in 1985. FOSS is defined as alternative software to proprietary options, with freedoms around use, modification, distribution and access to source code. FOSS relies on community development and offers benefits like higher quality, greater security, and no software costs compared to proprietary alternatives. Examples of widely used FOSS programs are also provided.
FOSS & Society
The document discusses the history of how software was sold and distributed from the early 19th century to present day. It outlines key events like IBM beginning to charge separately for software in 1969 and Richard Stallman's launch of the GNU project in 1984 to create a free Unix-like operating system. Stallman believed software users should have four essential freedoms: to use, study, share, and modify software. This philosophy led to the creation of the GNU General Public License to ensure any versions or modifications of GNU software remained free to use. While open source software has similar goals, the document notes it allows some licenses considered too restrictive by free software advocates.
Open Source and Freeware
The document discusses open source and freeware software. It notes that Richard Stallman founded the free software movement in 1983 and created the GNU Project.

Here are the key differences between free software and open source software:
- Free software emphasizes freedom and community. It focuses on giving users freedom to use, study, modify and redistribute the software.
- Open source software focuses more on the accessibility of source code and collaborative development. It emphasizes how opening the source code can improve quality through peer review and transparency.
- Free software uses the term "free" to refer to freedom, not price. It can be distributed for a fee. Open source does not necessarily mean no cost.
- The GPL (GNU General Public License) is commonly used for free software to ensure the software and any modifications/extensions remain free. Open source uses a variety of permissive licenses.
Open source
Open source refers to software where the source code is made available to the public so that it can be modified or improved. Some key advantages of open source software include: (1) the ability to distribute modifications freely, (2) availability of source code for modification, and (3) lower costs since development relies on volunteer contributions rather than paid employees. However, open source also faces some disadvantages such as a lack of protection for intellectual property and no guarantees for ongoing development or support.

Open source software (OSS) is software with publicly available source code that can be modified and shared. OSS has gained significant market share for software infrastructure like servers and web technologies. While initially seen as a "fad", OSS is now considered a fundamental change in the software industry. Though developed largely by volunteers, high-quality OSS like Linux can compete with proprietary software through credibility gained from major companies supporting OSS development. OSS provides flexibility, extensibility, and easier integration that helps reduce costs for both developers and users.
open source and copyright
Open source software relies on valid open source licenses and gives users four essential freedoms: to run the program for any purpose, study and modify the source code, redistribute copies to help others, and release improvements to benefit the community. While public domain status allows sharing, it also allows proprietary conversion. Copyleft licensing requires derived works to also be free and open. Creative Commons licenses allow modifying copyright terms to suit needs along a spectrum from full copyright to public domain. Popular open source licenses include GPL, LGPL, Apache 2.0, BSD, MIT and MPL.

Opensource
Richard Stallman developed the concept of free and open source software in the 1980s in response to proprietary software that forbade sharing and modification. He founded the Free Software Foundation and developed the GNU General Public License to ensure software remains freely available. Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and combined with software from the GNU project to create a fully functional open source operating system, now known as GNU/Linux. Open source software development involves volunteer contributions from around the world and has produced major programs and platforms like Linux, Apache, Firefox, and LAMP.
