Open Source and Free Systems/Software:
Implications for Libraries
The idea behind a free approach to software development not bound by source code patents nor by intellectual property rights is twenty-plus years strong. Newly inspired by the web's progressive, yet often challenged, openly free environment, open and free source software products have already made inroads into the library market. As the philosophy of this movement and the principles of free information within libraries are a nearly perfect match, interest and applicability are increasing. Join us in a discussion of these ideas and of their validity in libraries.
