Tracking Trends in Communications Software Pricing/Licensing
,----[ Quote ]
| A brief word about free, open source
| software (OSS) licenses. OSS gives users
| the right to modify and redistribute their
| creative work and software, both of which
| would be a big "no-no" with proprietary
| software. These free licenses typically
| include a disclaimer of warranty (no
| surprise there: what do you want, it's
| free software!).
|
| The idea of open source code is to make it
| easily available to the general public for
| the purpose of improvement, modification,
| etc., and it is released under the General
| Public License (GPL), Lesser GPL (LGPL),
| or other open source licenses.
|
| "Copyleft" (as opposed to copyright)
| software also includes a specific
| provision, that must be accepted in order
| to copy or modify the software; this
| provision requires users to provide source
| code for their work, and to distribute
| their modifications under the same open
| source/free license. See the Open Source
| Initiative website for more information at
| http://www.opensource.org/.

Lower compliance costs with open source tools
,----[ Quote ]
| These are just a few of the many open source
| tools that help with compliance. I also like
| RANCID for network device configuration
| management and Nagios for IT infrastructure
| monitoring. Don't forget about the many IT
| policy resources, such as the templates
| available from SANS.

Opera moves Dragonfly to Apache for patent promise
,----[ Quote ]
| Opera has switched its Dragonfly open source
| debug tool to an Apache 2.0 license to
| include a promise that users are protected
| from patents owned by Opera or any other
| contributor to the project.
|
| Dragonfly - similar to Mozilla's Firebug
| tool - completed its open sourcing in
| February, when it was moved from Opera
| servers to BitBucket. It was originally
| under the BSD license.
