Open source earns himself

Michael Chudzinski,

benefits of open source software as well as traditional noticed in the industry. Increasingly, for such applications must also pay.

Open source software in recent years it has gained in popularity. The main reason is the fact that installing this type of application does not involve incurring any costs or they are very low. Moreover, the quality, developed by computer scientists from around the world, the programs did not differ from that which we offer the traditional manufacturers.

That makes not only individuals but also companies to switch to open source software. Also, the governments of Great Britain even or Cuba, noted of the benefits. However, it appears that open source can also be a good way to make money.

As the service Investors.com already two thirds of free software is created by traditional companies from the IT industry. IBM, Oracle and Sun Microsystems successfully exploit the popularity of such applications. It means for them in measurable financial benefits.

First, using code from open source applications in their commercial products. Do not violate any patent or license, because those in this case do not apply. This allows you to reduce your costs associated with the creation of programs. Secondly, gain, access to thousands of people around the world, which, completely free of charge, to test the software for errors. This means further savings.

In most cases, open source software in its basic version is free. However, companies are increasingly demanding fees for enhanced versions with new features or additional services. Also traditional in the industry are suppliers of software developed entirely on the basis of free code.

Industry and its experts have no doubt that this is a step in the right direction. This allows not only reduce costs but also speed up product development.

----- Let's start with the header for the software that people need time to pay. The obvious nonsense, because you pay for the software is not (it is free), but additional services such as technical assistance (support), etc..

" Oracle and Sun Microsystems to successfully exploit the popularity of such applications "
Now this is a business.

"... licenses, since those in this case does not apply "- as licenses may not apply? right by (not to be confused with copyright law) is always and is not transferable, can not even transfer that right to another person. As someone painted a picture of it can not sell image and from that moment on say that the author of the picture is what this person has bought. "The vast majority of software FL / OSS is licensed (eg GPL) and practically difficult to find active projects that provide the code for their products without a license." (quote from the comments) . Even if the license is PD (public domain) and so it is at the end of any license rather than its absence, or not applicable license:)

It's the fast. Feel free to discuss in the comments.
