The real value of FOSS to business â A personal example
,----[ Quote ]
| The bottom line is that FLOSS is not about
| cheap software. Itâs about control. If you
| have the source code then you are in
| control of the situation, although good
| support from the vendor is always welcomed.
| Cheap price comes with the openest/freedom,
| since you are not restricted to pay support
| to a particular vendor if you are not happy
| with him.

| Why would people be so giving? The
| foundation of open source is belonging.
| Everyone to the hardest working contributor
| to the new user is equally entitled to
| their license. You do not need to pay
| thousands of dollars, go to a certain
| school, work for the right employer, or
| live in the right country. Open source is a
| free gift to all. Like grace, those who
| receive it want to share it. We stand
| together as neighbors living everywhere
| changing the world where we live.

One neighborhood changing the world part two
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source is not just a methodology for
| releasing software for people like Helios
| and I. It is a way of life that we pay for
| by giving back in abundance with the
| resources we have to our avail. So, when
| Helios posted that the founder of the
| website that him understand Linux was
| dying, I was happy to help again. This way
| the website: brunolinux.com and the âBruno
| Knaapen Technology Learning Centerâ will
| leave a legacy.

Opinion: GPL delivers clarity and freedom to business
,----[ Quote ]
| The Gnu General Public Licence (GPL) has been around in one form or another
| since the Gnu manifesto published by Richard Stallman in 1985.
|
| The free software movement founded at that time has not simply created the
| most successful copyright licence ever, it has acted as a guide to other,
| similar movements, including open data, open government and open information
| systems, such as Wikipedia. It is the same principles that Vint Cerf applied
| in 1983 when he âinventedâ the internet.

That Old GNU Thing: Licensing
,----[ Quote ]
| It's plain, though, that open licenses are both thriving and spreading, and
| this report offers a useful snapshot of just far we have come from the
| trailblazing GNU GPL.
