8 8 open source A method and philosophy for software licensing and distribution designed to encourage use and improvement of software written by volunteers by ensuring that anyone can copy the source code and modify it freely. The term "open source" is now more widely used than the earlier term " free software " (promoted by the Free Software Foundation ) but has broadly the same meaning - free of distribution restrictions, not necessarily free of charge. Open Source “Really, the reason you see open source there at all is because we came in and said there should be a platform that's identical with millions and millions of machines,” Bill Gates Source :The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, © 1993-2003 Denis Howe

9 9 Object code distributions must provide access to source code at no charge Any derivative of GPL'd code must be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License GPL http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php
