Abstract
Open source software is not a new phenomenon, having been around in some form for more than two decades. Open source (where the source code is released under a licence that grants users the right to study, change and distribute the software) is usually developed in a collaborative public manner. As there are no licence fees associated with it, the short-, medium- and long-term costs of ownership are almost always considerably less than those associated with proprietary software.
