5 ways to misunderstand Free and Open Source Software.
,----[ Quote ]
| 2. Innovation is killed in free software.
| The common perception is that if everyone can
| copy ideas, innovation will be stifled. In fact,
| freedom is often the key to innovative and
| successful software.
|
| * Anyone is allowed and encouraged to work
| upon it;
| * Many people are willing to participate;
| * There is no need to re-invent everything,
| ideas can be improved upon directly.
|
|
| Non-proprietary software stands out in many
| areas: consider, to name just a few:
|
| * Applications: Firefox (web browser),
| Inkscape (vector drawing).
| * Complete systems: Apache (web server),
| OpenBSD (os), and of course, GNU/Linux.
| * Formats and protocols: HTML (web pages),
| BitTorrent (file sharing), ODF (office
| documents).
| * Server applications: Drupal (Content
| Management System), Wordpress (blog).

| One thing I really like about Ubuntu is that
| all kinds of contributions to Ubuntu are
| valued and recognised through Ubuntu
| membership. We have several hundreds of
| Ubuntu members already who have all kinds of
| backgrounds and all kinds of different areas
| of expertise. They are united by having made
| significant and sustained contributions to
| Ubuntu.
