4. The Concept of Open Source Software “ OSS is a term for software published under licenses that do not give any private intellectual property rights to the developers” (Osterloh & Rota, 2007). Contributions to the development process are made by enthusiastic volunteers, non-paid members of the OSS community investing their free time and private resources for a common good in software development. Underpinning Theory is Innovation model: “Private – Collective model”
In an era of the “source” (open, cloud, localism) we have seen the power of the willingness of the masses – i.e. Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain etc to die for their brothers and sisters. The same is replicated in the technologies of the commons where conventional and traditions market systems have been defied.
