Open source software

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that permits users to study, change, and improve the software. Open source licenses meet the requirements of the Open Source Definition.

Social networking sites should be open source, after all with all this "intellectual property rights" who knows who really came up with the first unique idea for Facebook? Probably me.....when I was 15!

It's great to see hundreds of people arriving at a remote place to participate in an Open Source seminar.
