Bit of history

  • Before 70's, software source was distributed freely, mostly among academia
  • As OS-es became more expensive to make,
    AT&T started to charge for UNIX, Microsoft for its stuff etc.
  • 1983 IBM no longer distributed sources with purchased software

Open Source?

  • author/maintainer leads the project
    in "right" direction
  • everyone must respect project's licence and give author credit and money!
  • contributors give back contributions
    through Pull Requests
  • others can fork it for free and continue in a different direction

Benefits?

  • Better quality, better tested
  • Reliable, secure, flexible
  • Free choice, standards!
free-real-estate

Licences

  • MIT, BSD - very permissive, just don’t sue me
  • Apache - same, plus can't (troll) patent this
  • GPL - same, plus everything you make must be GPL!

Questions?

Free software? Slobodan, ne nužno besplatan (freeware je besplatan)
~ same as Open Source software


Free software is software that comes with permission for anyone to use, copy, and/or distribute, either verbatim or with modifications, either gratis or for a fee.

In particular, this means that source code must be available.

Free of charge? How to make money?


  • Platforms and services (Wordpress, Pivotal...)
  • Support, expertize (RedHat)
  • Sell binaries/distros
  • Donations
"Copyleft" refers to licenses that allow derivative works but require them to use the same license as the original work. (GNU GPL)

Defenders say that YOU HAVE A CHOICE...
But do YOU read every License agreement? :D
