Avvicinandomi sempre più al mondo linux ho deciso di leggere un po di materiale sulla licenza GNU GPL e i programmi open source e mi sono imbattuto in questo
Quindi ora mi sorge un dubbio... come fa un software ad essere contemporaneamente open-source e a pagamento?
The term open source was first introduced by some free software hackers in 1998 to be a marketing term for "free software." They felt that some people unfamiliar with the free software movement -- namely, large corporations, who'd suddenly taken an interest in the more than ten years' worth of work that had been put into it -- might be scared by the word "free." They were concerned that decision-makers in these corporations might confuse free software with things like freeware, which is software provided free of charge, and in executable form only. (Free software means nothing of the sort, of course; the "free" in "free software" has always referred to freedom, not price.)
