"Openness"

  • open source:

    • movement of programmers: freedom of producers are codified in the GPL
    • better software, higher rate of innovation
    • users profit as well: wider availability of high quality software, no artificial scarcity
    • for users, no difference between open source and freeware
    • freeware: proprietary software without a price, free as in beer.
