The natural complement to
W3C specifications is running code.
Implementation and testing is an essential part of specification
development and releasing the code promotes exchange of ideas in the
developer community. All W3C software is
Open Source /
Free Software,
and
GPL
compatible. See the
lice
nse for details (and the following if you intend
to contribute). Note that as this license is GPL compatible,
it is possible to redistribute software based on W3C sources under a
GPL license.

04/10/2005 07:12 AMFree software and Open Source: The freedom Debate and Its
Consequences By Mathias Klanght
tp://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue10_3/klang/index.htmlAbstract:To most outsiders the ethics
of software is not something usually considered. To most proficient
computer users with a passing interest in this question the ethics of
software is recognised as one of the fundamental questions in the
digital rights area. To most of the latter, terms such as free
software, open source, and their derivatives (FLOSS, FOSS, Software
Freedom) are interchangeable. Choosing one over the other is a matter
of taste rather than politics. However, to most insiders the
question is not one of taste. There is a fundamental difference
between the two areas even if they share a similar root. Free software
is not the same as open source. The two groups differ in their
fundamental philosophical approach to software and its importance to
society as a whole. This paper examines the two groups’ differing
philosophies and explores how their actions have affected software
development, access to fundamental software infrastructure, and the
development of the concept of freedom.

04/06/2005 09:22 PMDan Farber reports from the OSBC here in SF and let's us know what
Larry Augustimn said. He's identified specific models and shown
how companies are asking their clients to pay them to convince them to
hire them.
That is so beautiful.
And watch Doc's IT Garage
for more goings on in this area. It's time to cash in and kick
the old school - out. I guess the next scene is Portland Aug. 1-4 at
OSCON.
BTW Dan Farber is one of my favorite peeps.

among members of the general public, journalists of the general press
and even among those of us who should know better.

11/01/2003 05:18 AMAs an occasional user of Linux, and someone in the software industry,
I've followed the "Open Source" movement for quite some time. To a
minority, Open Source Software (specifically GPL licensed Open Source
Software) represents an ideological and sociological movement,
something that will change the world. To the majority, it is simply a
way to get cool and useful software without going through the expense
of buying, or the hassle of pirating it.

ing News: 5/17/2004: Dave Winer announced today that the kernel of
Manila and Radio — the object databae
code — will be open-sourced sometime in the next few months.
To fans of UserLand Software it must seem inevitable that
the kernel will go this way, it sure did to me. But I am on the board
of directors of the company, and I persuaded my fellow board members
that it would be in the company's interest to let the kernel develop
separately from the products that build on it.
Don't get too excited, however — these are the ugly guts of
the system, written in C. It will take a fair amount of work for
someone to do anything constructive with it.

didn't originally plan to work full-time on WebGUI, a user-friendly
Web content management system (CMS) he first released in 2001. Since
then, J.T. has built a profitable business selling WebGUI
documentation, training, and consulting. This article is the
lightly-edited transcript of an IRC conversation J.T. and I had on 5
January 2004. J.T. is as open as WebGUI's source code about how and
why his company is profitable, which makes this article "required
reading" for anyone who's ever thought about building a company based
on open source software.
