It's derived from the Debian Free Software guidelines
that were originally written by Bruce Parens.
1:00:07
I'd written the original draft of that, uh,
1:00:11
discussed it for a month with the Debian developers
1:00:15
Debian is a Linux distribution
1:00:18
And made it their project policy
1:00:22
And Eric and I decided to relabel
1:00:27
what we'd written for Debian
1:00:29
as The Open Source definition
1:00:31
and to say Open Source is a software
1:00:34
that gives you a list of nine rights
1:00:37
which is in the Open Source definition.
1:00:41
The first right is Free Redistribution
1:00:44
This doesn't mean Free as in no price
1:00:47
It means liberty
1:00:51
Um, you have to be free to redistribute
1:00:54
your software to someone else
1:00:56
And actually no price is a side effect
1:00:59
You can charge for that redistribution or not
1:01:03
It has to come with source code
1:01:06
So that someone can maintain a program.
1:01:10
If they go from a PC to a Mac for example
1:01:13
they can change the software.
1:01:17
Derived Works have to be possible
1:01:20
If someone has to improve your program
1:01:23
um, they should be able to distribute the result
1:01:29
uh, There is a provision about integrity
1:01:34
of the author's source code
1:01:35
which says that the author can sort of
maintain their honor
1:01:41
and if you make a change
1:01:44
you might have to change the name of the program
1:01:47
or mark out your change very clearly
1:01:50
so that your change doesn't reflect on the author
1:01:54
There is no discrimination against people or groups.
1:01:59
Uh, the example I usually use is
