Against this backdrop, this paper seeks to develop a systematic overview of open source communities and their socio-economic contexts. I begin with a recon- struction of the genesis of open source software projects and their changing relation- ships to established IT companies.

  • Final Exam Review History of Science 150
    Final Exam Review History of Science 150 1. Format of the Exam 90 minutes, on canvas 12:25pm December 18. You are welcome to bring notes to the exam, so you could start by filling out this sheet with notes from lectures and the readings! Like the mid-term, the final exam will have two kinds of questions. 1) Multiple choice questions examining your knowledge of key concepts, terms, historical developments, and contexts 2) Short answer questions in which ask you to draw on things you’ve learned in the course (from lecture, readings, videos) to craft a short argument in a brief essay expressing your informed issue on a historical question 2. Sample Questions Multiple Choice: Mina Rees was involved in (and wrote about) which of the following computing projects? A) Silicon Valley start-ups in the dot-com period B) Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine C) Works Projects Administration Tables Project D) Federal funding for computing research after WWII Short Answer: (Your answers should be between 100-200 words, and keep to specifics (events, machines, developments, people) that demonstrate your knowledge of materials covered from the course) A) What are two historical factors important to the development of Silicon Valley’s technology industry after World War II? B) In what ways did the field of programming change (in terms of its status and workers) between World War II and the late 1960s? 3. Topics to Review: Below, is a list of ideas to review for the final exam, which covers material through the entire course. You should review in particular, lecture notes, O’Mara’s The Code and other course readings provided on Canvas.

  • Intellectual Property
    Intellectual Property Adam Goode Computer Ethics December 6, 2000 Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Traditional Ideas About Property 1 3 Ideas as Property 2 4 Traditional Property Notions Applied To Intellectual Items 3 5 Software Should Be Free 5 6 Conclusion 5 1 Introduction Intellectual property is a controversial topic. The term itself is often ill-defined and confusing. According to one definition, intellectual property is “The own- ership of ideas and control over the tangible or virtual representation of those ideas (Howe, 2000).” But can ideas really have owners and control? Some (no- tably those like Richard Stallman) would advocate “no.” And of course, most software business leaders would give a powerful “yes.” The author of this paper is under the persuasion that intellectual property does not make sense (at least in software) and that control over one’s ideas is something that one gives up the moment he releases them to the world. This notion will be examined, as well as the notions of traditional property, ideas as property, where intellectual property seems to fit in with software, and why it really cannot. 2 Traditional Ideas About Property The word “property” brings out certain specific mental images. Ideas that spring to mind with the mention of property include things like “house” (dwelling as 1 property), “car” (machine as property), “yard” (land as property), or even “pet” (animal as property). Not many people initially think of “idea” or “notion” as a thing which might have property. Property has generally been restricted to things in the physical realm. Cer- tainly a person’s house or car can be considered property.

Birkinbine Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication September 2014 Title: Incorporating the Commons: A Political Economic Analysis of Corporate Involvement in Free and Open Source Software Free (libre) and open source software (FLOSS) emerged in the 1980s as a radical alternative to proprietary software. Fighting back against what FLOSS enthusiasts viewed as overly restrictive intellectual property protections placed on proprietary software, FLOSS was designed with the intent of granting users the right to study, modify, adapt, or otherwise tinker with the source code of software. As such, FLOSS users were able to collaborate in producing software that could be distributed freely and widely to others, who could, in turn, make changes to the software.

  • Incorporating the Digital Commons:Corporate Involvement in Free and Open Source Software
    INCORPORATING THE DIGITAL COMMONS DIGITAL THE INCORPORATING INCORPORATING THE CDSMS DIGITAL COMMONS he concept of ‘the commons’ has been used as a framework to understand resources shared by a community rather than a private BENJAMIN J. BIRKINBINE T entity, and it has also inspired social movements working against the enclosure of public goods and resources. One such resource is free (libre) and open source software (FLOSS). FLOSS emerged as an alternative to proprietary software in the 1980s. However, both the products and production processes of FLOSS have become incorporated into capitalist INCORPORATING THE production. For example, Red Hat, Inc. is a large publicly traded company whose business model relies entirely on free software, and IBM, Intel, Cisco, Samsung, Google are some of the largest contributors to Linux, the DIGITAL COMMONS open-source operating system. This book explores the ways in which FLOSS has been incorporated into digital capitalism. Just as the commons have been used as a motivational frame for radical social movements, it has also Corporate Involvement in Free served the interests of free-marketeers, corporate libertarians, and states to expand their reach by dragging the shared resources of social life onto and Open Source Software digital platforms so they can be integrated into the global capitalist system. The book concludes by asserting the need for a critical political economic understanding of the commons that foregrounds (digital) labour, class struggle, and uneven power distribution within the digital commons as well as between FLOSS communities and their corporate sponsors.
