This document summarizes an open source talk given in January 2019. It begins with a brief history of open source software from the 1950s to present day, including key events like the establishment of the GNU project and the coining of the term "open source" in 1998. It then defines open source as being transparent, open for collaboration, and abiding by the open source definition. The document discusses how open source involves more than just software, including documentation, infrastructure, QA, and communication. It also covers popular open source licenses like GPL and Apache licenses. Finally, it discusses benefits of open source collaboration for both government and private organizations and how to get involved in open source projects.

Brief History 1950s and 1960s: Software was Public Domain. Nobody sold software. It was included when you purchased hardware. Late 1960s cost of OS software started to surpass hardware. Software industry emerges. 1970ies UNIX emerges from AT&T. Not free to distribute, but often no cost to government and academia. Before 1974, software could not be copyrighted it was public domain! 1980 (early): UNIX is popular and AT&T stops giving it away for free. Charges for patches etc. Paid commercial license.
History Introducing RSK 1976: An open letter to Hobbyists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists 1983 Apple sues and wins copy-right protection. Closed Source is a reality. Distribution of source code stopped making life hard for RSK 1983: GNU Project established 1985: Free Software Foundation CopyLeft established GPL General Public License
History Enter Linus 1991 The infamous I created a new OS usenet post. 0.12 adapted GPL Mid 1990s: Lots of dot-com, distributions grow up. Different license models compete. 1997: The Cathedral and the Bazaar 1998: Open Source coined as a term

Popular Licenses GPL v2/v3 (GNU General Public License) (protective and more limited) Apache License (APL) MIT license (you can made non-open changes to code)
Why Collaborate? Most organizations are not unique Lots of shared tasks Even more partially shared Why reinvent the wheel for the 100th time? Paying for same R&D over and over again
