SIGCSE 2002 Panel – Ethical Issues In Open Source Software 2 What Is “OSS” ?? “We do not have a universally accepted definition of OSS. … We will use the loose definition” H. Wang & C. Wang, Open Source Software Adoption: A Status Report IEEE Software, March/April 2001

SIGCSE 2002 Panel – Ethical Issues In Open Source Software 3 Solution to Forced Upgrades “If software manufacturers had their way, I would have been forced to upgrade half a dozen times…at a horrendous cost…” D. J. Jacques, Open Source Ain’t Always Pretty, But It Works

SIGCSE 2002 Panel – Ethical Issues In Open Source Software 4 Back to the Good Old Days “Has the old fraternity based on integrity, pride and ‘settling it with code’ been replaced by greed, deception, and “we’ll see you in court?” K. Granroth and A. Pour, “Business Ethics in the Open Source Community?”

SIGCSE 2002 Panel – Ethical Issues In Open Source Software 5 Many Hands - Light Work “Open Source software gets stronger and stronger with every release and has less problems because the people using it are the ones who are developing it.” D. Kusnetsky quoted in J. Lyman, “If Open Source is so great, why isn’t everyone … ?”

SIGCSE 2002 Panel – Ethical Issues In Open Source Software 6 Free Software/Open Source “The free software movement and the open source movement are like two political camps within the free software community. … the enemy is proprietary software.”

SIGCSE 2002 Panel – Ethical Issues In Open Source Software 7 An Article I Recommend B. Meyer, “The Ethics of Free Software” Deeper analysis, clearer thinking.

SIGCSE 2002 Panel – Ethical Issues In Open Source Software 8 “Many of the contributions of the free software community are admirable. Highly disturbing, however, is its wide-spread slander of the commercial software world.” “The GNU and FSF view is that it is OK to sell anything except software.”

SIGCSE 2002 Panel – Ethical Issues In Open Source Software 9 “I’ve looked at the source, and there are pieces that are good and pieces that are not … my experience … is that Linux is quite unreliable. Microsoft is totally unreliable, but Linux is worse.” Ken Thompson, as quoted by Meyer
