	Why “Free Software” is better than “Open Source” - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		The term “open source” quickly became associated with a different approach, a different philosophy, different values, and even a different criterion for which licenses are acceptable.
		The Free Software movement and the Open Source movement are today separate movements with different views and goals, although we can and do work together on some practical projects.
		The official definition of “open source software,” as published by the Open Source Initiative, is very close to our definition of free software; however, it is a little looser in some respects, and they have accepted a few licenses that we consider unacceptably restrictive of the users.

	Open source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Open source hardware — hardware whose initial specification, usually in a software format, are published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the hardware and source code without paying royalties or fees.
		Open source politics is a term used to describe a political process that uses Internet technologies such as blogs and email to provide for a rapid feedback mechanism between political organizations and their supporters.
		Open source journalism referred to the standard journalistic techniques of news gathering and fact checking, and reflected a similar term that was in use from 1992 in military intelligence circles, open source intelligence.

	Open source movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In contrast with the free software movement, which has always been essentially directed by a single figure (Richard Stallman), the open source movement is "steered" by a loose collegium of elders that includes Raymond, its other co-founders, and such notables as Linus Torvalds, Larry Wall, and Guido van Rossum.
		However, they were unsuccessful in their attempt to secure a trademark for "open source", to act as an imprimatur and to prevent misuse of the term.
		Some in the open source movement have claimed that open source principles can be applied to technical areas other than computer software, such as digital communication protocols, data storage formats, and open source hardware.

	Open source movement
		Some in the open source movement have claimed that open source principles can be applied to technical areas other than computer software, such as digital communication protocols and data storage formats or even open source hardware (for instance the Indian development simputer).
		Skeptics have pointed out that the sharing principle predates the open source movement; for example, the free sharing of information has been institutionalized in the scientific enterprise since at least the 19th century.
		The broader impacts of the open source movement, and the extent of its role in the development of new information sharing procedures, remains to be seen.

	The Open Source Movement: Standardization Revisited
		Open Source mythology ascribes the beginning of open source to sometime in the past.
		They encourage the community to act together, and act as a re-enforcing mechanism for 'open source behavior' (which is a larger good to which all standards organizations must subscribe).
		In open source, there is no payment of dues; the cost incurred is in engineering expertise and in the willingness to surrender intellectual property, something that no company will willingly do without an expectation of a significant market reward for this behavior.

	Homer's Open Source Odyssey 2001: Classical Computing and a Brief History of Open Source LG #70
		The realm of open source and "classical computing" may represent a hybrid paradigm, wherein programming is closer in essence to physics and mathematics than it is to inventing the world's first functional airplane, or the first light bulb.
		Open source is about the individual--it is about the innovator, the end-user, not about the administrators nor the hypesters, who so often seek to ride on the coattails of others' achievements, whether they reside in a corporate or government bureaucracy.
		Both operating systems developed by the publicly-traded companies were mostly written in the open source of the C computing language (the language itself is an open specification), both were built upon the open-source science and technology found within the silicon chip, and both benefit from intellectual property rights to their respective trademarks, copyrights, and patents.

	Open Source Intelligence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The condensed outcome of these experiences is a realization that a sustainable, open and collaborative practice is difficult to achieve and that new specialized approaches must be developed in order to sustain the fine balance between openness and a healthy signal/noise ratio.
		Most importantly, the practice of Open Source has proved that these principles are a sound basis for the development of high-end content that can compete with the products produced by commodity-oriented control structures [8].
		Following the open source peer-review maxim, formulated by Eric Raymond as "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow," this allows the project to grow not only in number of articles, but also in terms of the articles' depth, which should improve over time through the collective input of knowledgeable readers.

	The Open Source Movement
		The more open tradition that accompanied the rise of Unix and the Internet stands in sharp contrast to the more commercial environment that prevailed with the rise of personal computers and Windows, and the revival of an Open Source Movement in the late 1990s can be seen in part as a reaction against this commercialism.
		Under copyleft, open source programs can be freely resold at no licensing cost to the reseller provided that any new programs based on copylefted programs themselves be made available in open source under copyleft [GNU].
		Open source alternatives such as Linux could help level the playing field for software developers in Thailand inasmuch everyone has equal access to the inner workings of the operating system.

	IT Feature: The Open Source Movement
		The term open source refers to software in which the source code is freely available for others to view, amend, and adapt.
		Open source software is also more secure and less vulnerable to the many virusesnow circulating on the Internet.
		For this reason, the implementation of open source solutions today tends to be restricted to infrastructure and other "invisible" applications such as servers, where techies are responsible for their installation and management.

	The Open Source Movement
		For software to be licensed as open source it must be technology neutral—it cannot require certain functions, such as a popup dialog box for establishing an agreement.
		The open source license that I have seen mentioned most often is the GNU General Public License (The GNU General Public License (GPL), 2003).
		This group supports open source software as a means to accomplish their goals: "openEHR recognises the value of open source as a means of fostering a community of developers, and of prototyping and evaluating components in a field of innovation such as the EHR.

	Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution
		Most of the Open Source authors consider their programs to be contributions to the public good, and don't care if they are paid at all.
		Businesses are adopting the Open Source model because it allows groups of companies to collaborate in solving a problem without the threat of an anti-trust lawsuit, and because of the leverage they gain when the computer-programming public contributes free improvements to their software.
		But the most reliable indication of the future of Open Source is its past: in just a few years, we have gone from nothing to a robust body of software that solves many different problems and is reaching the million-user count.

	Overview of the Open-Source Movement
		Suffice it to say that the Open Source movement is an active and vital part of the software scene in the world today.
		Formally, the movement has come to be spearheaded by an organization named the Open Source Inititiative, a nonprofit association based in California that owns the trademark, "Open Source."
		The OSI has developed a formal definition of the movement at a Webpage called "The Open Source Definition." You need to read, in detail, both the formal definitions of each of the nine criteria on that Webpage and also the hyperlinked rationale for each criterion.

	Idea Spout: The Open Source Movement and Liberty
		An open source program is one for which the programmers have made the source code publicly available, free of charge.
		Other programmers are largely free to mess with the code however they like, sometimes with the stipulation that they release their version of the program in an open source manner as well.
		So until the Open Source Movement starts lobbying for Firefox subsidies or demanding that Wal-Mart be considered part of the "Creative Commons", consider me an OSM supporter.
