But open source solutions are sufficiently compelling that every organization should be looking at them as possibilities now. 3 Open Source: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly In this chapter, we will review arguments for and against open source software, and some other issues that are relevant. 1 Why Your Right to View Code Matters There are reasons why you should have the ability to review source code, even though you don’t expect to do it, don’t want to do it, and may not even be able to (if you don’t know C++ or Perl).
BSD, the original free UNIX distribution, includes many Internet utilities, such as implementations of remote terminal, file copy, and the Internet programming API (Berkeley sockets). Sendmail was written as open source in 1975 and is still the most used mail server program. BIND, the program that maps server names to IP addresses, has been an essential component of the Internet since 1981. Apache is the most used Web server, with 67 percent share (Netcraft). Linux is the operating system used by most Apache servers.
