In 2008, after a chance meeting with CPAN admin Adam Kennedy at the Open Source Developers Conference, Linux kernel developer Rusty Russell created the CCAN, the Comprehensive C Archive Network.

Red Hat normally licenses the Cygwin library under the GNU General Public License version 3 with an exception to allow linking to any free and open source software whose license conforms to the Open Source Definition.

One Document Type Definition based on Dublin Core is the Open Source Metadata Framework ( OMF ) specification.

Raymond became a prominent voice in the open source movement and co-founded the Open Source Initiative in 1998, taking on the self-appointed role of ambassador of open source to the press, business and public.

As head of the Open Source Initiative, he argued that advocates should focus on the potential for better products.

Raymond stepped down as the president of the Open Source Initiative in February 2005.

The FSF also notes that " Open Source " has exactly one specific meaning in common English, namely that " ou can look at the source code.

" Stallman states that while the term " Free Software " can lead to two different interpretations, one of them is consistent with FSF definition of Free Software so there is at least some chance that it could be understood properly, unlike the term " Open Source ".

After this Eric Raymond and Bruce Perens founded the Open Source Initiative ( OSI ), to promote the term " open-source software " as an alternative term for free software.

Some free software advocates use the term Free and Open Source Software ( FOSS ) as an inclusive compromise, drawing on both philosophies to bring both free software advocates and open source software advocates together to work on projects with more cohesion.

The Open Source movement addresses software being open as a practical question as opposed to an ethical dilemma.

The Open Source movement ultimately determines that non-free software is not the solution of best interest.

This was also used by Open Source Initiative ( OSI ) under the name " The Open Source Definition ", the only change being that use of the term " free software " was replaced by OSI's alternative term for free software, " open-source software ".

Software systems based on IDLs include Sun's ONC RPC, The Open Group's Distributed Computing Environment, IBM's System Object Model, the Object Management Group's CORBA ( which implements OMG IDL, an IDL based on DCE / RPC ), Mozilla's XPCOM, Facebook's Thrift and WSDL for Web services.

A universally unique identifier ( UUID ) is an identifier standard used in software construction, standardized by the Open Software Foundation ( OSF ) as part of the Distributed Computing Environment ( DCE ).

Distributed Systems Architecture was strictly compliant with Open Systems Interconnection.

One well-known ( and open ) industry standard is the X / Open Distributed Transaction Processing ( DTP ) ( see JTA ).

Additionally, a variant of AFS, the Distributed File System ( DFS ) was adopted by the Open Software Foundation in 1989 as part of their Distributed Computing Environment.

The architecture of the Distributed Computing Environment ( DCE ) software from the Open Software Foundation was based on concepts pioneered by Athena.

Open Group, a vendor consortium, proposed the X / Open Distributed Transaction Processing ( DTP ) Model ( X / Open XA ), which became a de-facto standard for behavior of transaction model components.
