Open-source: Open source describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials. Some consider open source a philosophy, others consider it a pragmatic methodology. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source

Open source: A type of software developed by volunteers and made widely available to the public at little or no cost. onthecommons.org/commons-glossary

Open source: Software that is fully configurable by the developer community because the source code is openly available to everyone. It can also be thought of as a religious cult that is sweeping through the IT industry. www.ft.com/cms/s/0/a921280c-0dc5-11dc-8219-000b5df10621…

Open Source: This is a less-confusing name for what is also called 'Free Software'. It describes the development method used for many pieces of software, including the Linux kernel, where the source is freely available for anyone to work on, or modify, or learn from, or use in other projects. www.aleph1.co.uk/oldsite/armlinux/book/glossary.html Open-source: Open source describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials.

Open source: A type of software developed by volunteers and made widely available to the public at little or no cost. onthecommons.org/commons- glossary FREE SOFTWARE MOVEMENT Free Software: The Free Software Foundation seeks to promote Free Software as a life philosophy that will lead to better software and a better overall quality of life. Adherents of the movement would have us think “free” as in “free speech,” rather than “free” as in “free beer.”

FOSS: Free and open-source software, and FLOSS: Free/libre/open-source software Both FOSS and FLOSS promote the free licensing of software to allow users and contributors to freely distribute, study, change and improve software code. This approach, which combines open source and free software principles, is more pragmatic and less condemning of commercial software than pure free software philosophies. OPEN CORE SOFTWARE

The term "open core" essentially means that the heart of a software project is built on, and remains, open source but added features may not be (particularly a commercial version intended for enterprise use). Examples are Zimbra and MySQL.

Two Views:

1. Gives software companies the flexibility to include proprietary source code and open source code in the same application or suite of applications. It also gives companies access to “free” code, which lowers development costs.

2. It’s a variation on the classic drug dealer ploy of giving the user a free taste with the intent of later selling more product. COMMON FREE SOFTWARE, OPEN SOURCE AND OPEN CORE LICENSING MODELS

1. Apache License 2. BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" license (BSD-3-Clause) 3. BSD 3-Clause "Simplified" or "FreeBSD" license (BSD-2- Clause) 4. GNU(“GUH-NEW “) General Public License (GPL) 5. GNU Library or "Lesser" General Public License (LGPL) 6. MIT license (MIT) 7. Mozilla Public License (MPL) 8. Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) 9. Eclipse Public License POPULAR OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE Linux: Probably the best-known “open source” software application. As an example, the New Mexico Judiciary’s Data Center runs approximately 90 unix servers and 40 windows servers. A majority of web servers around the world use the Linux operating system. In addition, Linux is embedded in many hardware devices and is the basis for the Android operating system.

Ubuntu: Launched in 2004, Ubuntu is by far the most popular Linux distribution today. The Ubuntu is very popular as a desktop operating system and includes a suite of open source desktop applications that compete nicely with proprietary desktop software.

MySQL: MySQL is the most widely used database server in the world, particularly for Internet applications. As an example, MySQL provides the database backend for Wikipedia, Facebook and, much more.

Apache: The Apache HTTP Server has been the most popular web server in the world.

Firefox: Firefox is the number two web browser, right behind Internet Explorer . While number two, Firefox is the preferred browser for the more “technical” users.

WordPress: The dominant software for bloggers is Wordpress. NM COURTS “OPEN SOMETHING” APPS

MySQL Commercial License for OEMs, ISVs and VARs Oracle provides its MySQL database server and MySQL Client Libraries under a dual license model designed to meet the development and distribution needs of both commercial distributors (such as OEMs, ISVs and VARs) and open source projects.

For OEMs, ISVs, VARs and Other Distributors of Commercial Applications: OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), ISVs (Independent Software Vendors), VARs (Value Added Resellers) and other distributors that combine and distribute commercially licensed software with MySQL software and do not wish to distribute the source code for the commercially licensed software under version 2 of the GNU General Public License (the "GPL") must enter into a commercial license agreement with Oracle.

For Open Source Projects and Other Developers of Open Source Applications: For developers of Free Open Source Software ("FOSS") applications under the GPL that want to combine and distribute those FOSS applications with MySQL software, Oracle’s MySQL open source software licensed under the GPL is the best option. For developers and distributors of open source software under a FOSS license other than the GPL, Oracle makes its GPL-licensed MySQL Client Libraries available under a FOSS Exception that enables use of the those MySQL Client Libraries under certain conditions without causing the entire derivative work to be subject to the GPL.

Open Source For Content Management

Popular Open Source Content Management Solutions

Drupal No Cost; Most Powerful; Gaining a lot of “Like Candy for Coders” popularity WordPress No Cost; Best Ease of Easy to Understand Deployment; Tons of Themes Joomla No Cost; More Complex; Rocket Themes; More Available Widgets, Joomla SEO; Most Plugins, Modules, etc. Popular Open Source for Content Management WORDPRESS

Open Source for Content Management DRUPAL

DRUPAL Pros

 Extremely developer friendly. If you love coding, you will most likely love this system.  Strong community to help discern the dozens (hundreds) of functions and tags available.  Can be used to create some really awesome websites that can outperform a majority of other sites out there.

DRUPAL Cons

 Not very designer and user-friendly. It's hard for someone with little code knowledge to make the leaps required to do the very cool things that Drupal is becoming known for.  Theming of Drupal has been a challenge (until recently). Probably because it has been developers, not designers, that are making the themes.  Getting a Drupal website published could cost you more time, and thus more money, than Wordpress or Joomla. Open Source for Content Management JOOMLA

JOOMLA Pros

 Friendly for all types of users - Designers, Developers and Administrators  Huge community - Great for assisting with creation of websites  Has been rapidly growing and improving itself for the past three years

JOOMLA Cons
