| 1 | A variety of website improvements have been [[proposed/requested by Luis on the license-discuss list>>url:http://projects.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss/2013-July/001031.html]]. Working drafts for the page revisions are linked here so that they can be discussed/reviewed/improved: | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | == What is Open Source? == | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | We lack a single page that defines open source (as opposed to defining criteria for open source licenses). It has been suggested that [[opensource.com/resources/what-open-source>>url:http://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source]] and[[ http:~~/~~/onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/09/29/what-is-free-software.html>>url:http://onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/09/29/what-is-free-software.html]] might be good references in drafting this page. | ||

| 8 | * [[What is open source>>url:http://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source]] | ||
| 9 | * [[What is free software>>url:http://onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/09/29/what-is-free-software.html]] | ||
| 10 | * [[Open source equals software freedom, not free software>>url:http://www.infoworld.com/d/open-source-software/open-source-equals-software-freedom-not-free-software-204014]] | ||
| 11 | * [[Don't be fooled by phony 'open source'>>url:http://www.infoworld.com/d/open-source-software/dont-be-fooled-phony-open-source-229484]] | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == Interpretation of the Open Source Definition == | ||
| 14 | ))) | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | * [[OSD Interpretation>>doc:Open Source Definition Interpretation]]. Resources from mailing archives, frequently asked and/or relevant questions. Potentially useful for FAQ updates or OSD annotated. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | == Open Source Bibliography == | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | * The [[current bibliography>>url:http://opensource.org/links]] is solid but has not been updated since 2005. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | == Open Source Business Case == | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | * This [[refers to "Frank Hecker of Netscape">>url:http://opensource.org/advocacy/case_for_business.php]]. Frank is a great guy but hasn't been with “Netscape” in over a decade, or Mozilla for four years :) | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | == License Application "How to" == | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | * [[License application HOWTO>>doc:How to apply an open source license to your project]] We lack a good HOWTO for applying licensing information. Such a thing could link to [[SFLC's guide on the subject>>url:https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2012/ManagingCopyrightInformation.html]] (or Karl Fogel's [[brief one in his book Producing OSS>>url:http://producingoss.com/en/license-quickstart.html#license-quickstart-applying]]) but it should probably be useful on its own. Useful questions for OSI wiki to answer: [[old license-discuss email>>url:http://www.mail-archive.com/license-discuss@opensource.org/msg07409.html]]. |
