THE ARCHDEACON GAZED AT THE GIGANTIC EDIFICE FOR SOME TIME IN SILENCE, THEN EXTENDING HIS RIGHT HAND, WITH A SIGH, TOWARDS THE PRINTED BOOK WHICH LAY OPEN ON THE TABLE, AND HIS LEFT TOWARDS NOTRE-DAME, AND TURNING A SAD GLANCE FROM THE BOOK TO THE CHURCH,--"ALAS," HE SAID, "THIS WILL KILL THAT."

Starting this Thanksgiving I am going to write a complete Unix–

compatible software system called GNU (for Gnu’s Not Unix), and give it away free to everyone

who can use it.

STALLMAN FORKED THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS OF CREATION AND PROVED EMPIRICALLY THAT SHARING WORKS

SO WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT?

What does this mean?Free Infrastructure

“Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To

understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in

“free speech,” not as in “free beer.”

COPYLEFTViral or Vaccination?

COPYLEFT IS NOT OPPOSITE OR ANTI-COPYRIGHT

Copyleft is a general method for making a program or other work free, and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well

WHY NOT JUST USE PUBLIC DOMAIN?

-- Public domain grants FULL freedom-- Including converting the program, after changes, into proprietary software.-- Including denying the same freedoms to others.

PROPRIETARY BUT FREE (NO COST?)SEMI FREE FREE

THE LICENSES

WHAT IS FREE?

0. The freedom to run the program, for any purpose. 1. The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (source code).

2. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor. 3. The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public

(source code).

Open Source

• Solution to the freedom discussion?• Code available for…

– Studied– Changed– Improved

What makes an OS License?

• Open Source Definition – 10 requirements (Version 1.9)

• Approved by Open Source Initiative Board of Directors

• Use of the Open Source TM

1. Free Redistribution

• Not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software

• Not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

2. Source Code

• The program must include source code• Must allow distribution in source code

– …or there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code

• Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed.

3. DERIVED WORKS

The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.

4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code

The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software.

5. NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PERSONS OR GROUPS

The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

• The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor.

• For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

7. DISTRIBUTION OF LICENSE

The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties.

8. LICENSE MUST NOT BE SPECIFIC TO A PRODUCTThe rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's

being part of a particular software distribution.

9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software

• The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software.

• For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source software.

10. LICENSE MUST BE TECHNOLOGY-NEUTRAL

Types of Licenses• Academic Licenses (BSD)

– Originally from academic institutions– Freedom to the public even to close

• Reciprocal Licenses (GPL)– Free for any use– Licensees must offer same terms

• Standards Licenses– Standard software & documentation

• Content Licenses (AFL, OSL)– Copyrightable subject free for all– www.creativecommons.org

Categorization• Permissive Licenses

– BSD, MIT, Apache– allow free distribution, modifying, and license

change– similar to public domain software

• Persistent – LGPL– allows free distribution, modifying and license

change if bundled as a whole into new work; derivative works must be under LGPL or GPL

Categorization• Persistent and viral

– GNU GPL– allows free distribution and modifying but all bundled and

derivative works must be under GNU GPL• Persistent and viral source

– MPL, NPL– used by large firms like Sun, Nokia etc, much like GPL but allows

license change of binaries in favor of the original producer

GPL VERSION 1 JANUARY 1989 The four freedom

GPL VERSION 2 JUNE 1991 “LIBERTY OR DEATH”

Section 7. This section says that if somebody has restrictions imposed that prevent him or her from distributing GPL-covered software in a way that respects other users’ freedom (for example, if a legal ruling states that he or she can only distribute the software in binary form), he or she cannot distribute it at all.

Criticism• Political - CC does not ensure ideological control

• Common Sense – its too complicated

• Pro-copyright position - CC not viable and undermines copyright by fooling users

• Anti-copyright – its broken! Don’t fix it.

• Confusion – do we need another license???

• Community – licenses do not create community (or lawyers are bad people)
