Kp | "No license required" sounds like public domain. Being open source and being public domain are not mutually exclusive, but they are also not the same thing. | March 4, 2004, 12:28 AM |

crashtestdummy | "Jargon File (4.3.0, 30 APR 2001)" open source n. common; also adj. `open-source' Term coined in March 1998 following the Mozilla release to describe software distributed in source under licenses guaranteeing anybody rights to freely use, modify, and redistribute, the code. The intent was to be able to sell the hackers' ways of doing software to industry and the mainstream by avoiding the negative connotations (to suits) of the term "free software". For discussion of the follow-on tactics and their consequences, see the Open Source Initiative (http://www.opensource.org) site. | March 4, 2004, 2:08 AM |
