The Free Software Freedom 3

The artists get inpiración in the work of others and if the same laws that apply to the development of proprietary software were applied to the arts in general, we would not have geniuses, since many of them based their work on the work of other .

Basing your work on others who have been successful is a good development model quite effective because it saves time that can be used to add more value to the work. For example, the first operating system GUI provided that developed was based on macintosh microsoft , although this is not a good example of how you can inspire or base a job in another to make it better, if linux is the case which was based on Unix and such is the similarity and compactness between the two that you might think that Linux is a UNIX emulator for all kinds of hardware. Here is a good example of how software can add value in this case there was a piece of software almost identical to the original but with extra attributes as the fact that it can be installed on virtually any machine because it is known that a basic distribution of Linux, ie only the command line can be installed in a watch, router, cell phone, iPod or computer from any manufacturer, which does not happen with the original UNIX. The popular iTunes music player software was developed from another program called SoundJam, using the same process to make better software and publish it again, a process in which everyone wins.

A software program lilbre can undergo a series of modifications that can be turned into something quite different from the original version. If these modifications have solved problems that other users of the community, the programmer is free, by free 3 that the GNU / GPL license gives it released its version of the free use of others.

So if you dream of creating a successful program that can be a good method to follow. Find the program that best matches what you have in mind and adds the necessary changes to comply with your expectations and then give it a name and publish. It should be noted that the program must be licensed under a license that allows you to do these things, otherwise they are committing crimes and you could find yourself in serious trouble Legal.

The act of not allowing others to add enhancements to a software program to be published in later versions or not to allow others to base their work on mine is an act to slow down the speed at which technology advances and induces loss of precious time for companies and programmers who are forced every day to reinvent the wheel.
