  • “Infectious” Open Source Software: Spreading Incentives Or Promoting Resistance?
    “INFECTIOUS” OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE: SPREADING INCENTIVES OR PROMOTING RESISTANCE? Greg R. Vetter* ABSTRACT Some free or open source software infects other software with its licensing terms. Popularly, this is called a viral license, but the software is not a computer virus. Free or open source software is a copyright-based licensing system. It typically allows modification and distribution on conditions such as source code availability, royalty free use and other requirements. Some licenses require distribution of modifications under the same terms. A license is infectious when it has a strong scope for the modifications provision. The scope arises from a broad conception of software derivative works. A strong infectious ambit would apply itself to modified software, and to software intermixed or coupled with non-open-source software. Popular open source software, including the * Assistant Professor of Law, University of Houston Law Center (UHLC); Co-Director, Institute for Intellectual Property and Information Law (IPIL) at UHLC; biography and additional background available at: www.law.uh.edu/faculty/gvetter.

  • BUFR Software License
    A free software license for the BUFR software H. Paulitsch / TU-Graz At the first OPERA-III meeting the need for a license for the BUFR software has been discussed in WG2 and TU-Graz has been asked to prepare such a license. There are a lot of different free software licenses available (see the list), with the GNU General Public License (GPL) the best known. There is one condition of the GPL, which makes it inappropriate for use with the BUFR software: it requires, that every derived or combined work also has to be released under GPL. This would mean, that commercial (radar) software could not use a BUFR library, if it were released under GPL. The Lesser GPL (LGPL) does not have this requirement, so this seems to be the better choice (reference: LGPL Terms and Conditions, §2 and §5). The way to apply the LGPL is by including a short notice in each source file and provide the full LGPL license text as a separate file in the software distribution. TU-Graz has prepared such a notice based on the LGPL recommendations. For reference also included in this document is the full license text of both the LGPL and the GPL. Notice to be included in the source files BUFR encoding and decoding software/library Copyright (c) 2007, Institute of Broadband Communication, TU-Graz on behalf of EUMETNET OPERA, http://www.knmi.nl/opera This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; version 2.1 of the License.

    Building an Application Using NetBeansTM Framework By Frank Cohen © 2002 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Abstract The NetBeansTM platform is more than the basis for the SunTM ONE Studio (previously ForteTM for JavaTM) integrated development environment ("IDE"). With this powerful toolset, any software developer may build powerful desktop application software, including commercial applications that have nothing to do with Java technology development. In this article, Frank Cohen describes how to create your own NetBeans modules and how to create your own branded application using the NetBeans platform. Introduction to NetBeans Who could have imagined the tremendous effect on software development made by combining Java software development technology with open-source development methodologies? From the start, Java technology's theme has been to maximize the utility of writing software once and running everywhere Java technology runs. NetBeans technology's theme has been to focus a software developer's attention on writing the core logic in desktop application software and to let the NetBeans platform worry about the mundane issues of file editing, pluggable and downloadable tools, file management, and desktop integration. The combination of Java technology and open-source methodologies gives little reason to write a desktop application today without building it on the NetBeans platform. The NetBeans platform is a software framework for building desktop application software in the Java programming language. Sun Microsystems was the first company to build a commercial application based on the NetBeans platform, but many others have followed. For example, Project XEMO is a music composition environment built on NetBeans1. Companies building application software with NetBeans take advantage of the MozillaTM-style open-source license.

  • Chapter 4 Open Source Software (OSS)
    University of Pretoria etd – Peer, E S (2005) Chapter 4 Open Source Software (OSS) \Gnu: n. [Hottentot gnu, or nju: cf. F. gnou.] (Zo["o]l.) One of two species of large South African antelopes of the genus Catoblephas, having a mane and bushy tail, and curved horns in both sexes. [Written also gnoo.] Note: The common gnu or wildebeest (Catoblephas gnu) is plain brown; the brindled gnu or blue wildebeest (C. gorgon) is larger, with transverse stripes of black on the neck and shoulders." | Webster's Revised Unabridged Dic- tionary. Open Source Software (OSS) [92], also known as free software [105], is any software dis- tributed under a license conforming to the Open Source Definition (OSD) as published by the Open Source Initiative (OSI)1. An unannotated copy of the current OSD is at- tached as Appendix C, however, later versions may be published on the OSI web site as the definition is refined. An annotated version, describing the motivation for each clause of the definition, is also available from the OSI web site. Unlike the OSI, which ap- proaches OSS from a very pragmatic perspective, the Free Software Foundation (FSF)2 approaches OSS from a more ethical ideology concerned with civil liberties. Essentially, free software licenses are designed to protect four basic freedoms: Freedom of use: Recipients of OSS are granted the right to use the software for • any purpose. 1http://www.opensource.org 2http://www.fsf.org 73 University of Pretoria etd – Peer, E S (2005) CHAPTER 4.
