Gonzalez,´ Joaqu´ın Seoane, Gregorio Robles • Modulo´ 0• 3 Introduccion´ al software libre Prologo´ . La primera version´ de estos apuntes fue escrita por Jesus´ M. Gonzalez´ Barahona, Joaqu´ın Seoane Pascual y Gre- gorio Robles entre los meses de abril y septiembre de 2003. Aunque llevabamos´ tiempo hablando sobre preparar un material de este tipo para la asignatura Software Libre que Joaqu´ın y Jesus´ impartimos en los programas de doctorado de nuestros respectivos departamentos, fue´ la iniciativa de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) de encargarnos un material para la asignatura de introduccion´ a su master´ de software libre lo que nos decidio´ final- mente a ponernos manos a la obra. En este encargo fue fundamental la labor de Jordi Mas, coordinador academico´ del master,´ que no solo´ nos propuso para este trabajo y nos puso en contacto con la UOC, sino que nos acompan˜o´ en la relaciones con ellos durante toda la duracion´ del proyecto. Materiales previos Algunos textos de estos apuntes estan´ basados en materiales previos, normalmente de los propios autores, en algunos casos de terceras personas (utilizados con permiso, cuando no han sido completamente reelaborados). Entre ellos podemos mencionar los siguientes (a riesgo de olvidar alguno importante): Hay algunos fragmentos (sobre todo en los cap´ıtulos de historia y econom´ıa) inspirados en el documento “Free Software / Open Source: Information Society Opportunities for Europe?” [111], que Jesus´ Gonzalez´ Barahona coedito´ para la Comision´ Europea. Sin embargo, los fragmentos en cuestion´ han sido ampliados, retocados y actualizados, tanto que en muchos casos pueden ser dif´ıcil de reconocer. El apartado sobre los monopolios y el software libre (Seccion´ 5.4.) esta´ reelaborado sobre el art´ıculo “Software libre, monopolios y otras yerbas” [66], de Jesus´ M. Gonzalez´ Barahona. Los apartados sobre iniciativas legislativas e iniciativas de administraciones publicas´ en relacion´ con el software libre esta en parte basados en “Iniciativas de las administraciones publicas´ en relacion´ al Software Libre” [84] (gracias a Pedro de las Heras por permitirnos utilizar ese material, del que es coautor). Parte del apartado sobre los motivos para usar software libre en las administraciones publicas´ (Seccion´ 6.2. ) esta´ basado en el art´ıculo [67], de Jesus´ M. Gonzalez´ Barahona. La traduccion´ de la Licencia de Documentacion´ Libre de GNU es una actualizacion´ adaptada de la realizada por Igor Tamara´ y Pablo Reyes para la version´ 1.1, a los que agradecemos el haberla realizado y su permiso para modificarla. El cap´ıtulo de ingenier´ıa del software libre es una adaptacion´ de un art´ıculo sobre el estado del arte de la ingenier´ıa del software aplicada al software libre de Jesus´ M. Gonzalez´ Barahona y Gregorio Robles para la revista Novatica.´ En el cap´ıtulo de estudios de casos, la parte dedicada al desarrollo de Linux se basa en una presentacion´ que realizo´ Juan-Mariano de Goyeneche durante el curso de doctorado “Programas Libres” de la Universidad Politecnica´ de Madrid durante el curso 2002-03. La parte historica´ del estudio pormenorizado de GNOME ha sido tomada de la introduccion´ historica´ incluida en el libro sobre “Desarrollo de aplicaciones en GNOME2” elaborado por GNOME Hispano y realizada por uno de los autores de este libro. El caso de estudio de FreeBSD se basa en parte en la ponencia presentada por Jesus´ Rodr´ıguez en el III Congreso HispaLinux celebrado en Madrid en el ano˜ 2000. Los casos de estudio de Debian y Red Hat parten del trabajo previo de Gonzalez´ Barahona et al. que han plasmado en varios art´ıculos los resultados del analisis´ cuantitativo de estas dos distribuciones. c Jesus´ M. Gonzalez,´ Joaqu´ın Seoane, Gregorio Robles • Modulo´ 0• 4 Introduccion´ al software libre Agradecimientos Los autores agradecen a la Fundacion´ para la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya1 la financiacion´ de la primera edicion´ de esta obra, enmarcada en el Master´ Internacional en Software Libre ofrecido por la citada institucion.´ 1 http://www.uoc.edu c Jesus´ M. Gonzalez,´ Joaqu´ın Seoane, Gregorio Robles • Modulo´ 1• 5 Introduccion´ al software libre 1. Introduccion´ al software libre . ¿Que´ es el software libre? ¿Que´ es y que´ implicaciones tiene la licencia de un programa libre? ¿Como´ se esta´ de- sarrollando el software libre? ¿Como´ se financian los proyectos de software libre, que´ modelos de negocio se estan´ experimentando relacionados con ellos? ¿Que´ motiva a los desarrolladores, especialmente a los que son volunta- rios, a involucrarse en proyectos de software libre? ¿Como´ son estos desarrolladores? ¿Como´ se coordinan en sus proyectos, y como´ es el software que producen? En resumen, ¿cual´ es la panoramica´ general del software libre? Este es el tipo de preguntas que trataremos de responder en este texto. Porque aunque el software libre esta´ cada vez mas´ en los medios de comunicacion,´ en las conversaciones de los profesionales de la informatica,´ e incluso empieza a estar en boca de los ciudadanos en general, aun´ es un desconocido para muchos. Y los que lo conocen muchas veces no saben mas´ que de algunos de sus aspectos, desconociendo completamente otros. Para empezar, en este cap´ıtulo vamos a presentar los aspectos espec´ıficos del software libre, centrandonos´ funda- mentalmente en explicar sus bases para los que se aproximen al tema por primera vez, y en motivar su importancia. Entre estas bases nos detendremos en la definicion´ del termino´ (para saber de que´ vamos a hablar) y en las conse- cuencias principales del uso (y la mera existencia) del software libre. Tambien´ presentaremos otros recursos libres distintos del software y que han ido apareciendo, en parte, bajo el impulso y ejemplo de aquel.´ 1.1.. El concepto de libertad en el software Desde hace mas´ de 30 anos˜ nos hemos acostumbrado a que quien me vende un programa me imponga las con- diciones bajo las que yo puedo usarlo, prohibiendome,´ por ejemplo, que se lo pase a un amigo. A pesar de ser software, no puedo adaptarlo a mis necesidades, ni siquiera corregir errores, debiendo esperar a que el fabricante los arregle. Esto no tiene por que´ ser as´ı, y es precisamente el software libre el que me concede las libertades que el software propietario me niega. 1.1.1.. Definicion´ As´ı pues el termino´ software libre (o programas libres) se refiere a libertad, tal como fue concebido por Richard Stallman en su definicion[´ 98]. En concreto se refiere a cuatro libertades: 1. Libertad para ejecutar el programa en cualquier sitio, con cualquier proposito´ y para siempre. 2. Libertad para estudiarlo y adaptarlo a nuestras necesidades. Esto exige el acceso al codigo´ fuente. 3. Libertad de redistribucion,´ de modo que se nos permita colaborar con vecinos y amigos. 4. Libertad para mejorar el programa y publicar las mejoras. Tambien´ exige el codigo´ fuente. Estas libertades se pueden garantizar, de acuerdo con la legalidad vigente, por medio de una licencia, como veremos en el Cap´ıtulo 3, Aspectos legales. En ella se plasman las libertades, pero tambien´ restricciones compatibles con ellas, como dar credito´ a los autores originales si redistribuimos. Incluso puede obligarnos a que los programas ajenos mejorados por nosotros tambien´ sean libres, promoviendo as´ı la creacion´ de mas´ software libre (ver Seccion´ 3.2.2.). c Jesus´ M. Gonzalez,´ Joaqu´ın Seoane, Gregorio Robles • Modulo´ 1• 6 Introduccion´ al software libre LA AMBIGUEDAD¨ DE “free” El termino´ original en ingles´ para programas libres es free software. Sin embar- go ingles´ el termino´ free, ademas´ de libre significa gratis, lo que genera gran confusion.´ Por ello a menudo en ingles´ se toman prestadas palabras espanolas˜ y se habla de libre software, en contraposicion´ a gratis software, al igual que nosotros tomamos prestada la palabra software. As´ı pues no estamos hablando de software gratuito, y el software libre se puede vender si se desea. Pero debido a la tercera libertad, cualquiera puede redistribuirlo sin pedir dinero a cambio ni permiso a nadie, lo que hace practicamente´ imposible obtener dinero por distribuirlo, salvo la pequena˜ cantidad que se pueda cargar por grabarlo en un soporte f´ısico y enviarlo, algo raramente demandado excepto para grandes volumenes,´ como es el caso de las distribuciones. Se han formalizado definiciones mas´ precisas de software libre, como es el caso notable de las directrices de la distribucion´ Debian[85].

Leon Davis Ross Nordeen INTRODUCTION Robotics technology is a rapidly advancing field moving from applications on repetitive manufacturing processes toward applications of more variable and complex tasks. Current directions of NASA designs for the Space Station and other future spacecraft is moving toward the use of robotics for operational, maintenance and repair functions while the spacecraft is in orbit. These spacecraft systems will eventually require processing through KSC for launch and refurbishment. In the future, KSC will be called on to design ground processing facilities for new generation launch vehicles such as the Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle and the Second Generation Shuttle. The design of these facilities should take advantage of state- of-the-art robotics technology to provide the most efficient and effective vehicle processing.

  • Linux on the Move
    Guest Editors’ Introduction What is Linux? And why should you care? This focus section has insights for both newcomers and diehard fans. Linux on the Move Terry Bollinger, The Mitre Corporation Peter Beckman, Los Alamos National Laboratory inux is a free, open-source operating system that looks like Unix, L except that it runs on PCs as well as other platforms. Linux was created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Today, Linux is cooperatively improved by Torvalds and thousands of volunteers from around the world using open-source development methods. At this point in time, “Linux” generally refers to the entire suite of software in a distribution, from the operating system kernel to the Web server and graphical user interface. When we say that Linux is “free” we mean, well…free. You do not need to pay money to get a copy of it, although it is usually more convenient to buy an inexpen- sive CD-ROM copy than download an entire distribution over the Internet. Once you get a copy of Linux, you also have the right to make as many copies of it as you want. 30 IEEE Software January/February 1999 0740-7459/99/$10.00 © 1999 .

  • Mengenal Sistim Operasi *BSD
    Mengenal Sistim Operasi *BSD Ada banyak sekali tulisan-tulisan yang membahas tentang BSD, baik tulisan mengenai sejarah, system administrasi, sampai penggunaan BSD kepada end-user sebagai desktop. Tulisan ini memperkenalkan BSD sebagai alternatif lain dari Linux untuk memenuhi kebutuhan akan UNIX-like operating system di Indonesia. Dalam tulisan ini pula, dibahas mengenai beberapa hal yang membedakan antara Linux dan BSD, namun tidak memutuskan mana yang paling baik, karena untuk menentukan mana operating system yang paling baik digunakan adalah Anda sendiri. Daftar Isi 1. Sejarah 2. Distribusi Varian BSD 3. Model Pengembangan 4. Integrasi System 5. Software-software di BSD 6. System Administrasi 7. File System 8. Lain-lain 9. Kesimpulan Sejarah Hampir semua orang telah mendengar Linux saat ini. Namun apa itu BSD? BSD adalah singkatan dari Berkeley Software Distribution. BSD pertama kali dibangun dan dikembangkan oleh Computer System Research Group (CSRG) di University of California at Berkeley (UCB), BSD pertama kali keluar pada akhir 1977 sebagai paket tambahan dan patch dari AT&T UNIX version 6, yang mana waktu itu beroperasi pada mesin PDP-11 minicomputer. BSD pada akhirnya banyak memberikan kontribusi berharga pada pengembangan UNIX secara umum. Ada banyak fitur yang pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh BSD dan beberapa diadopsi dari AT&T dan vendor-vendor lainnya. BSD dibuat, dikembangkan, dan digunakan secara BEBAS sebagai perlawanan terhadap lisensi UNIX yang dimiliki oleh AT&T dan oleh karena itu BSD mempunyai lisensi tersendiri yang memungkinkan setiap orang bebas melakukan pengembangan, dan menggunakan source code BSD. Pada tahun 1993, 4.4BSD dirilis sebagai sebuah Operating System yang utuh. Untuk sejarah lengkap BSD di CSRG, mulai sejarah dari jaman kuda, motivasi orang-orang yang pertama kali mengerjakannya, sampai perseteruan lisensi dan hak cipta dengan AT&T, saya mereferensikan Anda untuk membaca tulisan yang dibuat oleh Kirk McKusick, “Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix“.

  • History of Unix.Pdf
    History of Unix In order to define UNIX, it helps to look at its history. In 1969, Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and others started work on what was to become UNIX on a "little-used PDP-7 in a corner" at AT&T Bell Labs. For ten years, the development of UNIX proceeded at AT&T in numbered versions. V4 (1974) was re-written in C -- a major milestone for the operating system's portability among different systems. V6 (1975) was the first to become available outside Bell Labs -- it became the basis of the first version of UNIX developed at the University of California Berkeley. Bell Labs continued work on UNIX into the 1980s, culminating in the release of System V (as in "five," not the letter) in 1983 and System V, Release 4 (abbreviated SVR4) in 1989. Meanwhile, programmers at the University of California hacked mightily on the source code AT&T had released, leading to many a master thesis. The Berkeley Standard Distribution (BSD) became a second major variant of "UNIX." It was widely deployed in both university and corporate computing environments starting with the release of BSD 4.2 in 1984. Some of its features were incorporated into SVR4. As the 1990s opened, AT&T's source code licensing had created a flourishing market for hundreds of UNIX variants by different manufacturers. AT&T sold its UNIX business to Novell in 1993, and Novell sold it to the Santa Cruz Operation two years later. In the meantime, the UNIX trademark had been passed to the X/Open consortium, which eventually merged to form The Open Group.1 While the stewardship of UNIX was passing from entity to entity, several long- running development efforts started bearing fruit.
