Abstract

The Free Software and Open Source Software movement, with Linux being the most visible example of the numerous "free software" packages, has been gathering increased attention recently. But, what are Linux and the Free Software and Open Source Movements really about? What are the advantages of the Free Software and Open Source philosophy of software creation, and is it truly "free?" These questions, and others, are addressed.
