Why FOSS?
Why FOSS?
Every day, we use a variety of applicationswithout even wondering about their origins.
Our main goal is to complete the task athand, as long as these needs are satisfied weremain loyal to the particular software.
But users like me and You need change overa period of time. So developers of thesoftwares work hard for that.
This is due to highly competitive market andinvesment of time and money.
What if you need not pay money to buy asoftware or use a pirated one?
Open Source softwares will do that foryou.

History of FOSS
A bit of History..
In the 1950s-60s-70s, it was normal to provide free software.
1960s change was inevitable: the reason, a growing software industry.
Software Players did not want the costs of ”free” software bundledwith hardware product costs. Hence, Software was also sold.
In 1983, Richard Stallman,announced the GNU project later theFree Software Foundation (FSF) wasfounded in October 1985. Thisformed the base for the freedoms ofthe software users.

But why Firefox?
Its now well known that a firefox is an incredibly cute red panda.
But sadly, No secret reason it has the name Firefox.
Firefox was simply a safe, unique, cool-sounding option, for Firebird.
December 2010 Mozilla adopted twored pandas at Knoxville Zoo,Tennessee, To spread awarness abouttheir conservation.
