    the program for any purpose. 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish. "Four freedoms" by the Free Software Foundation, cf. https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/basics/4freedoms.en.html Freeware 3 . 3
  5. 2: The freedom to redistribute and make copies so you

    can help your neighbor. 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits. @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ "inRepository": true, "translatorType": 3, "browserSupport": "gcsv", - "lastUpdated": "2017-01-25 13:39:28" + "lastUpdated": "2017-03-11 13:39:28" } function detectImport() { @@ -1089,13 +1089,13 @@ var citeKeyConversions = { if(item.creators && item.creators[0] && item.creators[0].lastName) { return item.creators[0].lastName.toLowerCase().replace(/ /g, } - return ""; + return "noauthor"; }, "t":function (flags, item) { if (item["title"]) { 3 . 4
  6. Open Source is about ... open license free download, install

    accessibility to source code documentation of source code possibilities to modify source code social coding 3 . 5
  7. Use commercial software and open source Using good commercial software

    gives us stability with professional support, and allows us to put our resources in other areas Using good open source software allows us maximum flexibility Develop own software as Open Source, when there is a need and it is possible for us Contribute to Open Source software as well as to interest groups of commercial software Work together on Software Our Hybrid Software Approach 5 . 2
  8. Operating Systems in the Backbone Operating Systems Debian GNU Linux,

    Ubuntu, Raspbian (all open source) Used for all kinds of servers and web based services on standalone computers (info terminals, screen sharing, ...) 6 . 2
  9. Internet of Things mostly based on Open Source Our Use

  22. "In addition to being a collection of licences and legalese,

    the term “open source” is often used to describe the culture of open-source projects, in which there is an emphasis on working in an open and collaborative way, a focus on transparency and an effort to engage the community. As such, many of the principles of open source are well aligned with the core tenets of the open-science movement and academia more generally." http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/indepth/2017/mar/09/why-we-should-give-credit-to-code-creators Questions, Comments? 10
