Open Source
Is >20 Years Old “Open Source” is the proper name of a
campaign to promote the pre-existing
concept of Free Software to business,
and to certify licenses to a rule set.
Christine Peterson … suggested “Open
Source” as a way to promote Free
Software without the stigma of “free”
in the English language.
