.

Ok firstly open source just doesn’t mean

Access to the source code. It has to adhere

to certain rules. I have compiled some of

Them

Free Redistribution: Nobody has a monopoly

over the license. No royalty or other fee

for such sale.

 

Source Code: The source code should be

given along with the compiled form.

 

License must not be specific to a

Product: The rights attached to the program

must not depend on the program’s being

part of a particular software distribution

 

 Distribution of License:

The rights attached to the program must

apply to all to who the program is

redistributed without the need for

execution of an additional license by

those parties.

 

 Derived Works:

The license must allow modifications and

derived works, and must allow them to be

distributed under the same terms as the

license of the original software.

 

These were just some theoretical rules. To

get the hands on experience along with

awareness about open source, from the big

shots of open source do attend the

technical extravaganza organized by

Symbiosis Institute Of Computer Studies

And Research, Gnunify 07.This is where the

whose who of open source will be

coming. Actually going by the base line

FREE, even the registration is free. The

registrations are online and are on. The

spot registrations will be a dicey deal

because the response is huge. So get your

registrations done and get ready to open

your mind to open source
