Fork (software development) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Because of the ease of forking a project but the challenge of continuing to develop and support it, it's common for forks without extensive resources to become inactive — for instance, see GoneME, a fork of GNOME by a former developer, which was discontinued shortly despite attracting some publicity. Pretty Good Privacy was forked outside of the United States to free it from the restrictive laws on the exportation of cryptographic software. OpenSSH was a fork from SSH, which happened because the license for SSH 2.x was "non-free" (even though the source was available), so an older version of SSH 1.x, the last to have been licensed as free software, was forked. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fork_(software)   (758 words)

Software hoarding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This software forking can cause interoperability problems leading to vendor lock-in, as well as a limitation of knowledge. The practice of software hoarding was the impetus for the creation of copyleft. Software hoarding is legal unless restricted by copyleft or a similar license, but it is considered immoral by the more ideological proponents of free software. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Software_hoarding   (135 words)

Wiki software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wiki software is a type of collaborative software that runs a Wiki system. It is usually implemented as a server-side script that runs on one or more web servers, with the content generally stored in a relational database management system, although some implementations use the server's file system instead. "Wiki software" could be interpreted as comprising all of the software required to run a wiki, which might include a web server such as Apache, in addition to the "Wiki engine" itself, which implements the wiki technology. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wiki_software   (368 words)

Free Software Project Management HOWTO A fork is when a group of developers takes code from a free software project and actually starts a brand new free software project with it. Luckily, usually the threat of the fork is enough to scare the maintainer or maintainers of a project into changing the way they run their project. Software users are accustomed to pre-releases but you must be careful to label these releases accurately or they will cause more problems then they are worth. www.yukidoke.org /~mako/projects/howto/FreeSoftwareProjectManagement-HOWTO.html   (15706 words)

Mob Software Mob software projects do not generally have deadlines, but efficiency is gained by more eyes, hands, and minds being applied to the work—in general, fewer major releases are required to get to the same level of functionality and quality. To get an idea, whereas a large software project by conventional standards might have 250–500 developers, a mob software project can have thousands or tens of thousands of developers who are not only actively working on the software but using it every day under a variety of conditions. Software skill is a gift from an unknown and unknowable source—perhaps the skill is an artistic talent, perhaps there are parts of the process of writing software that can be taught. www.dreamsongs.com /MobSoftware.html   (11649 words)

Wikipedia: Fork (software) This is particularly common in open source software (or free software). This schism can be caused because of different goals or personality clashes.

Most notably neglected is a version of the software written by tech activists in Philadelphia in 2000 that is built on top of Slash, the software made famous by Slashdot and includes a good deal of advanced user-moderation and administration features not found in other Indymedia software. The ability to fork software and modify it to fit your differing needs is one reason that Indymedia is so closely tied to free software--it is essential for software with participatory aspirations. mako.yukidoke.org /writing/mute-indymedia_software.html   (3337 words)

Examples Software patents range from very technical ones to patents on pure social methods. However, if software became patentable, it would become very easy to get patents on internet methods, education methods, consulting methods etc. trough a clever formulation of the patent application which encapsulates such methods into software techniques.

MySQL takes cue from the master | CNET News.com While many software companies bill their technology as slick and sophisticated, MySQL is comfortable as the Honda Civic of databases. Because the MySQL source code is released under the GPL, a programmer could "fork" the software, creating a new version that heads a different direction than the company. The company also on Wednesday detailed a partner program to entice software companies to embed the MySQL database in their applications and to entice other partners, such as systems integrators and value-added resellers, to resell the database as part of custom development work. news.com.com /2100-7344_3-5190975.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=news   (2326 words)

Slashdot | A New Model for Software Innovation An alternative to using the GPL is to license software for free non-commercial use and then hope that commercial use users act fairly. Of course the Apache Software License is incompatible with the GPL so that code from the Apache and GNU projects cannot be mixed whatsoever, but that doesn't stop the GNU advocates from citing Apache as support for the GPL. For example, in patenting software, let's say software patents require a time limit (to be imposed by the author), after which, the software source will be forced into the public domain under an OS license. developers.slashdot.org /developers/02/08/28/1648253.shtml?tid=117   (8234 words)
