Is it really free?
margaret | February 23, 2009
Does the word “free” brighten your day, or are you skeptical? If I were to tell you of websites with “free” software, would you then be skeptical? Would it make a difference if I changed the term to “open source” software? A clear cut explanation of the term open source may be found at www.opensource.org, so I won’t attempt to explain all the nuances of the definition; however, open source software means the source code is not proprietary, but open and transparent for people to see kind of “what’s under the hood”.
