  • Open Source Software: Risks and Rewards V2.0, 03 August 2005
    Open Source Software: Risks and Rewards v2.0, 03 August 2005 Author(s)Gary Hein Conclusion Open source software (OSS) brings new opportunities and risks to information technology (IT) vendors and customers. Software commoditization is being profoundly affected from the infrastructure layer and moving up to the application layer. As a result, OSS is changing the strategies and business models of hardware and software vendors and system integrators. Customers should understand the risks and rewards of OSS, and should formulate strategies that bring OSS benefits to their IT departments while mitigating the business and legal risks. Synopsis Open source software (OSS) is more than just free software. It’s a development process, a distribution model, and a set of new software licenses. And, as characterized by OSS proponents, it’s a movement. OSS projects, such as Linux and Apache HTTP server, are commoditizing enterprise and Internet infrastructure, and thus pose threats for some vendors while creating new market opportunities for others. OSS brings more to information technology (IT) than just free software. It grants freedom from vendor lock-in and application churn, freedom to inspect, modify, and improve source code, and the freedom to influence or contribute to projects key to a company’s survival. But these freedoms come at a price. Although OSS is free, it isn’t always less expensive to implement due to migration, support, training, and maintenance costs. OSS projects add new twists to business risks such as vendor viability and stability, and legal issues remain uncertain as many popular licenses have yet to be tested in a court of law.

    At the end of last year, the USENIX Board of Directors asked me to prepare a report NICK STOUGHTON for ;login: on the activities in the world of formal standards in 2004.

People are reading it carefully and asking hard questions of the form “Did you really mean to [email protected] say this?” Sometimes the answer is “yes,” sometimes it’s “no,” but every question is carefully reviewed , and if necessary new text is written to clarify the meaning. Having the standard freely available online (see http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/) helps enormously in spreading the use of POSIX: no system implementer or application developer can excuse nonconformance with “I couldn’t afford the stan- dard.” Additionally, the relative ease of licensing the text means that open source implementations have started to adopt the actual standard text for their man pages; both FreeBSD and the Linux Man Page project have licensed it for this purpose.

  • 22 October 2004: PAS (Publicly Available
    October 2004 22 October 2004: PAS (Publicly Available Specification) Explanatory Report for LSB-Core (Linux Standard Base V2.0.1) from FSG (Free Standards Group) 1 1 Introduction This Explanatory Report is for the Free Standards Group (FSG) PAS Submission for the Linux Standard Base (LSB 1) Core Specification. This submission is being made in accordance with the criteria in JTC 1 N 7364, ISO/IEC JTC 1 Directives, 5 th Edition , Annex M: “The Transposition of Publicly Available Specifications into International Standards – A Management Guide.” The Linux Standard Base is a development of the Free Standards Group, a California nonprofit, member supported organization devoted to the development of standards based on technology created by the open source community. 1.1 Background Software developed by the Open Source Community is a growing trend in information technology, especially in the rapidly evolving domains of the internet and the World Wide Web. Between 50% and 75% of internet activity (e.g. web servers, e-mail servers, DNS servers, client systems) utilizes open source software, and Linux 2, an open source operating system, is estimated as having the fastest-growing market rate for server-based platforms. As the global reliance on open source software increases, so does the need for standards for open source community software. The Free Standards Group was created to address this need through the merger of two open source community efforts, the Linux Standard Base (LSB) and the Open Internationalization Initiative (OpenI18N). These projects comprise the primary effort in FSG specification development, and have created specifications that codify the base foundation of the Linux operating system as it relates to application binary interfaces, and system internationalization.
