The author, citing the 1995 book "The Future of Software," indicates that technical experts can extrapolate when trying to predict the future, but can miss discontinuities that transform technologies. The history of the development of OSS is traced from the 1950's to 2008. Topics include computer manufacturers who gave away their software for free and software supplied in both source and object code form. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2008 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
