Week 11

Analyse both free software and open source approach in your blog. If you prefer one, provide your arguments.


My understanding about free software is for example BS.Palyer where you have the opportunity to download it and use it to a certain extent. The hook with this particular example is that you get a very boring (no extra features) version and in case you want more you most probably have to pay for it. The open source is something that you can adjust to your requirements and add the extra features yourself if you want to. But you don’t have the ability to sell your creation (partly yours) and it is freely useable for everybody else. I would prefer the free software as I mostly trust them and have until now been able to finish my purposes.
