Answer to Open Source Software interrogants.

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE Do you know what Open Source Software is? What is your opinion about using Open Source Software? Is it a solution? Is it a problem? Explain your arguments. Remember to write name and grade.


Well, the Open Source Software is the software that's created and ditrbuyed in a free way, thus it can be free for the users too.
My opinion about using Open Source Software is that sometimes is amazing, because you may need a software and you can download in a few minutes and then work in it all the time you need. But there's a negative point in the fact that's free, we'll don't know if the source of it is a reliable one, so it may contain viruses or something that may make sick the computer.
And othere thing is know where to search the Software, beacause maybe there are some ilegal Software on the web, so, if we download that kind of software we'll be actually stealing the work of the software maker.
Well I think so that in the paragraph I already explain my opinion on the "problem" or "solution" situation.

Hi teacher i am Reina Jimenez
okay the open source software is a helpfull tool because you can check the code and change it if you want to do that.
the open source software also is good to all the people because the lisence of this says that nobody can be discriminate, and all the persons can be equall and they can get the software, i think that many times the open source software is a solution to our lifes, however i think that other times it means a problem because the people that is evil... many times do changes in the codes or do anything that do bad modifications to the software and when you download it in your computer it cause damages in your computer and it converts in a big problem to you and your pocket because you have to pay money to fix it
It`s all teacher

Open source software is the term that means: software that is distributed and developed by a FREE way, that refers that this software respect the customer's decisions and the user's freedom of do whatever you want with your own product.
when you get your own software you can run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software, to be more concise OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE means that the product's owner gets 4 benefits or liberties with the software posession: study the operation of the system, adapt the system according to the needs, helping to others distributing your software in a free way, and benefit the community through system's improvements.
you can get the software free, or pay for it and then distribute it.

i think that the use of this software contributes to you and your community, because you can, not only study his operation, or his defects, you can help to improve the software and make it better every day. That's the reason why every time we heard about version 0.2, or something like that because we can improve its operation and fix the defects.

i think that the use of this software is a solution that helps everybody, because it's free, it's good and we learn about it ,and when we fix it it learns about us.
also we can distribute it without copyright infringement so we can help us and help everybody without hurt nobody.

thaecher i like this foro
its a good idea

This is software that respects the users' freedom about the product acquired so when this it is acquired can realizarce changes they want for exaple send again, copy, study, be analyzed and many more.

This software is distributed free or at market price, but not always is well preserved as free distribution of freedom and therefore may be sold commercially.

this software can have many benefits it is used by people in a free and easy also can be used for successful studies but also can give misuse to cause damage and bad repairs but is a good idea if people manage software responsibly.

HI TEACHER!!! WELL, The open source software its a helpfull tool because is a software that can be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and which can be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form, or with minimal restrictions.
This program have 2 points, one point that its positive, its that you can change the information in the software, and the negative point its that these free programs have ``virus´´ so we have more oportunities to have virus.

Hi teacher

Well.... An Open Source Software is like a program which can be downloaded without a password or a segurity code.... you only need to be agree with some terms of use (perhaps not in all the programs) and you'll have your free program in a minute.
I guess that this is a bad way to get a a program for free, because you'll never have the guarantee that this program is without virus or not... Also, if the program is being shared without the authorization of the company; you're making copyright violation.

But anyway.... There're some companies that are doing this legally... a good example can be Windows Live and Messenger, so maybe it's not as bad as I think

In conclusion, the OSS is a problem and a solution at the same time. It depends where you download the programs and how do you get it.
