Description: Explains the competing open source philosophies and development models, with examples of popular open source projects such as Linux, Apache, KDE and Python.
Open Source Software Development Open-Source Software Development Open source is software developed by uncoordinated but loosely collaborating programmers, using freely distributed source code and the communications infrastructure of the Internet. Open source has a long history rooted in the Hacker Ethic. The term open source was adopted in large part because of the ambiguous nature of free software. Various categories of free and non-free software are commonly referenced, some with interchangeable meanings. Several licensing agreements have therefore been developed to formalize distribution terms. The Cathedral and the Bazaar is the most frequently cited description of the open-source development methodology , however although the paper identifies many mechanisms of successful open-source development, it does not expose the dynamics. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of open-source projects currently in existence.
