Summary

The Open Source movement has been one of the big stories in the press since 1998. Yet despite the attention, the history of this movement is notwell documented and, indeed, often not well understood by its own members.From the invention of the compiler to Netscape's source code release, "Software, Money & Liberty tells the story of the free software and Open Source movements. While several books attempt to present someof the history of today's computer culture for a mass audience, this bookinstead targets the very members of the movement itself: it's a book aboutprogrammers, written for programmers.Since compilers first created a distinction between binary and source codedistributions, open and closed source have evolved in a complex relationship.Learn the history of that evolution, and learn why free and open-source codehas a permanent and enduring place in the software business.
