The annual Linux Foundation collaboration summit kicked off yesterday. The executive director of the Linux Foundation, Jim Zemlin, opened the conference and advocated for a big tent to improve the development of Open Source software.
This big tent can include everyone who believes software openness is essential to freedom, all Open Source developers and users and all companies supporting the creation of Open Source products.
Not all Open Source licenses are the same. Some of them obligate the software supplier to grant patent licenses to users and developers of the software. Other licenses oblige the developer that uses the licensed product or library to offer the source code of this product or library under the same terms. Others simply give away the code, with no warranty of any kind or any concerns.
This article highlights the main differences between the most used Open Source licenses from the perspective of a software user and of a software developer. First we need to speak about the specific properties that define Open Source software.
Linux commands are useful and productive, but sometimes they may be dangerous, specially when you are not an expert on the tasks you are performing.
That’s why it is highly recommended to double chek these commands below before executing them:
–rm -rf: It is one of the fastest way to wipe out a folder and its content.
–:(){:|:&};:: It keeps on executing one function again and again untill the system freezes.
Crytek has introduced CryEngine V during GDC, the Game Developers Conference which is being held this week in San Francisco. The graphic engine behind very popular gaming titles, such as Crysis or Ryse: Son of Rome has been updated featuring an important innovation: a new business model.
The company has announced a Pay What You Want model, so each developer will decide the amount he’d like to pay to access the engine’s feature-set and full engine source code, with no obligation to pay anything.
