Because of the rise in popularity and consideration of open source applications in all markets
from education to government to business, it is critical for all decision makers to understand
what open source applications are and what the implications are for their organization. This
is especially true in the education market where budget pressures make the right decision
an imperative. This paper describes what is open source, its comparison with proprietary
source, attributes and its role in context of higher education. |
