Open source theory/community/culture/licensing

A listing of some useful readings from Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) culture/licensing/community/theory, as we attempt to apply some lessons towards our own community at PLOTS:

• Benkler, Access to Knowledge in the Age of Intellectual Property - http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F3666707%2FBenkler_%2520A2Ka.pdf&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFwLhqCKF4cYPybNqLU8yIs6KoxDQ

• Chris Kelty's "Geeks and Recursive Publics: How the Internet and Free Software Make Things Public" https://kelty.org/or/papers/unpublishable/Kelty.RecursivePublics-short.pdf

Richard Stallman on why the "free" in FOSS means "free as in freedom, not as in beer": http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

The Apache Foundation is the nonprofit behind the Apache web server and over 100 other open source projects.

Mako Hill: "Open source advocates must defend their thesis that freely developed software should, or will with time, be better than proprietary software. Free software supporters can instead ask, 'How can we make free software better?' In a free software framing, high quality software exists as a means to an end rather than an end itself." - http://mako.cc/writing/hill-when_free_software_isnt_better.html

Open source theory/community/culture/licensing

A listing of some useful readings from Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) culture/licensing/community/theory, as we attempt to apply some lessons towards our own community at PLOTS:

• Benkler, Access to Knowledge in the Age of Intellectual Property - http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F3666707%2FBenkler_%2520A2Ka.pdf&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFwLhqCKF4cYPybNqLU8yIs6KoxDQ

Richard Stallman on why the "free" in FOSS means "free as in freedom, not as in beer": http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

The Apache Foundation is the nonprofit behind the Apache web server and over 100 other open source projects.

Mako Hill: "Open source advocates must defend their thesis that freely developed software should, or will with time, be better than proprietary software. Free software supporters can instead ask, 'How can we make free software better?' In a free software framing, high quality software exists as a means to an end rather than an end itself." - http://mako.cc/writing/hill-when_free_software_isnt_better.html

Open source theory/community/culture/licensing

A listing of some useful readings from Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) culture/licensing/community/theory, as we attempt to apply some lessons towards our own community at PLOTS:

Richard Stallman on why the "free" in FOSS means "free as in freedom, not as in beer": http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

The Apache Foundation is the nonprofit behind the Apache web server and over 100 other open source projects.

Mako Hill: "Open source advocates must defend their thesis that freely developed software should, or will with time, be better than proprietary software. Free software supporters can instead ask, 'How can we make free software better?' In a free software framing, high quality software exists as a means to an end rather than an end itself." - http://mako.cc/writing/hill-when_free_software_isnt_better.html
