Abstract

This reference book brings together papers that address the whole range of topics in the area of open source software (OSS). The book is divided into seven sections, and each section contains five to ten chapters. Some of the topics covered include: a historical and contextual overview of free/libre open source software (FLOSS) and OSS; development models and methods for open source software production; laws and licensing practices; public policy, the public sector and government perspectives; business approaches and applications; and educational perspectives. The book does contain copyediting errors and an incomplete index, but despite the flaws, it is a rich source of research topics that can be used in any computer-related curriculum. It is recommended for every technical library.
