Re: And how is this different than using the Inter
Sorry, but the first browser came long after the Internet. The first web browser marked the begining of the World Wide Web, but the Internet itself existed for nearly a decade before that using protocols such as FTP, SMTP, etc. As for Open Source != Free software, it's more like they overlap in more ways than they don't. I can't say which came first as there has been free software for as long as I've been a developer, which makes free software at least 25 years old and that software included source. Open Source now seems to mean software source that is covered by one of several specific set of terms and conditions. |
