Open Source Initiative
Eric S. Raymond and others
Non-profit
Promote open source software
Pragmatic, business friendly approach “to dump the moralizing and confrontational attitude that had been associated with 'free software'" and instead promote open source ideas on "pragmatic, business-case grounds” – Michael Tiemann
![Page 9: Ten Open Source Tools Which Will Transform Your Library](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012410/616a5c2711a7b741a351a52a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Acronyms
OSS – Open Source Software
F(/)OSS – Free & Open Source Software
FLOSS – Free/Libre Open Source Software
"Near as I can figure ... people think they’d be making an ideological
commitment ... if they pick 'open source' or 'free software'. Well, speaking as
the guy who promulgated 'open source' to abolish the colossal marketing
blunders that were associated with the term 'free software', I think 'free
software' is less bad than 'FLOSS'. Somebody, please, shoot this pitiful acronym
through the head and put it out of our misery.“ – Eric S. Raymond
Acronyms are used interchangeably

A Distinction Without a Difference?
Activist Pragmatist
“Open source is a development methodology; free
software is a social movement” – Richard Stallman

‘…despite philosophical differences, proponents of open source
and free software "often work together on practical projects.“’

Practical Differences
Free Software Foundation
No Restrictions
Open Source
“You can look at the source code”
May prevent modification
Also
“Tivoization”: hardware blocks execution of modified programs
“Nearly all open source software is free software, but there are exceptions”
Is a program “free” or “open source” – check the license!

A Disclaimer
Open ≠ Free
1) ‘To understand the concept, you should
think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as
in “free beer”’ – Richard Stallman
2) “Support for openness usually requires
people, and they are often the most
expensive component” - Martin Weller

Why Use Free/Open Source?
