Open Source Software

Read page 68-71 in your textbook.

We'll discuss two major varieties of software: commercial and open-source.

Make a post on your blog informing your readers of the differences between these two types. Then, address the following questions:

- what are some examples of open-source software? (include links)
- why do people make open-source software?
- why do people pirate (steal) software?
- do you think it is 'more wrong' to steal a DVD from a store than it is to download it? Why or why not?
