Многие из людей, которые начинают проект с открытым кодом как отдельные программисты, в конечном итоге обычно заканчивают как крупные компании с программными продуктами с открытым исходным кодом. <...> Примеры программных продуктов с открытым исходным кодом: OpenOffice.org (и вилка LibreOffice) – пакет офисных программ; Mozilla Firefox – браузер; Blender – 3D графический редактор; 7-Zip – файловый архиватор; Android – операционная система на основе Linux; Linux – семейство Unix-подобных операционных систем;PHP – язык сценариев для веб; Apache – HTTP веб-сервер и многие другие. <...> THE OPEN SOURСE The open-source model includes the concept of concurrent yet different agendas and differing approaches in production, in contrast with more centralized models of development such as those typically used in commercial software companies. <...> A main principle and practice of open-source software development is peer production by bartering and collaboration, with the end-product, source-material, "blueprints", and documentation available at no cost to the public. <...> In production and development, open source is a philosophy, or pragmatic that promotes free redistribution and access to an end product's design and implementation details. <...> Before the phrase open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; open source gained hold with the rise of the Internet, and the attendant need for massive retooling of the computing source code. <...> Opening the source code enabled a self-enhancing diversity of production models, communication paths, and interactive communities. <...> Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and <...>
