What is Free/Open Source Software?
Free/Open Source software is a computer software whose source code is available under a license that permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified form. It is often developed in a public, collaborative manner.
(Wikipedia)

Features of Free Software
• the freedom to run the program, for any purpose
• the freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to local needs
• the freedom to redistribute copies so others can benefit from the software
• the freedom to improve the program, and release the improved version to the public,
so that the community can benefit (The Free Software
Foundation)

History of Free/Open Source Software

• 1991 Linus Torvalds developed Linux • 1994 Red Hat (commercial Linux) company
founded. • 1998 “Open Source Initiative” was formed

OSS: Disadvantages
• Inadequate technical supportDocumentation tends to be limited and aimed at
developers. Technical support is usually limited, especially for users of the software.
• CustomizationMany features in ILS are generalist and must be
customised before use.

OSS: Disadvantages
• Unanticipated effortsA library may find that it needs to do a great deal
more work than anticipated to adapt the software to local needs.
• Lack of coordinationThe decentralized development of open sourcesoftware means that progress can be chaotic and
there may be delays in addressing bugs.
