	Open source - Wikichristian
		Open source is a work methodology that fits the Open Source Definition, and generally is any computer software whose source code is either in the public domain or, more commonly, is copyrighted by one or more persons/entities and distributed under an open-source license such as the GNU General Public License (GPL).
		Such a license may require that the source code be distributed along with the software, and that the source code be freely modifiable, with at most minor restrictions, such as a requirement to preserve the authors' names and copyright statement in the code, a concept known as copyleft.
		Open source advocates point out that as of the early 2000s, at least 90 percent of computer programmers are employed not to produce software for direct sale, but rather to design and customize software for other purposes, such as in-house applications.

	Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution
		The first step of a software engineering process is to create a document which describes the target customers and their reason for needing this product, and then goes on to list the features of the product which address these customer needs.
		Open Source developers often succeed for years before the difference between programming and software engineering finally catches up to them, simply because Open Source projects take longer to suffer from the lack of engineering rigor.
		Software engineering isn't just for the slide rule and pocket protector set--it's a rich field with a lot of proven techniques for building high-quality systems, especially high-quality systems that aren't amenable to the "one smart programmer" approach common to Open Source projects.

	Open Source Initiative OSI - Welcome
		Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to managing and promoting the Open Source Definition for the good of the community, specifically through the OSI Certified Open Source Software certification mark and program.
		You can read about successful software products that have these properties, and about our certification mark and program, which allow you to be confident that software really is "Open Source." We also make copies of approved open source licenses here.
		We in the open source community have learned that this rapid evolutionary process produces better software than the traditional closed model, in which only a very few programmers can see the source and everybody else must blindly use an opaque block of bits.

	Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS) References
		Open Source as ESS by David Rysdam, which applies game theory concepts to software licenses and argues that the GPL fundamentally ``wins'' over other licenses.
		Tim O'Reilly's "The Open Source Paradigm Shift" (May 2004) is a very interesting piece arguing that OSS/FS is an expression of three trends: the commoditization of software, network-enabled collaboration, and software customizability (software as a service).
		Another useful essays is Karl Fogel's "Recognizing rudeness in the open source culture", which argues that "One of the defining characteristics of open source culture is its distinctive notions of what does and does not constitute rudeness.
