Open Source Software

Why Many are Reluctant to Use Open Source Software

Open Source Software is a type of software that is normally free for usage. The source codes of open software are readily available for users to use, modify and redistribute the code.

Despite the freedom with limit control of using open source software, many are still reluctant to use it. To many, open source software is good since it allows software programmers to contribute their quota in the computing village.

Most people believe that the value of software depends on the price of the software. Some computer users believe that anything free in the computing world is of inferior quality. Since I am a lover of open source software, I don’t believe in this myth. Many open source software are even of a better quality that most of the paid software.

Free in the contest of Open Source Software amounts to free sharing of information among the computing community as well as the freedom to customize the source code to the choice of the user. Free is not inferior.

Most of the pessimists of Open Source Software also believe that it is against human nature for people to give out their intellectual properties and time in such a free manner.
