The politics of open-source software | |
|
||
| Time: 09:47 EST/14:47 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Wendy and the Initiative for Software Choice (ISC) are by far the most vocal opponents of a growing trend that they believe may jeopardize the future of the worldwide commercial software industry. Laws that, if enacted, would all but prohibit government agencies from purchasing proprietary software for their own use. Because of the size of governments' ever-growing information technology budgets, billions of dollars are at stake. ("Open source" means that, at the very least, the source code is available, and "free software" means that anyone who modifies the code may, if they distribute it, be required to disclose details of the modifications.) | ||
