This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: OSSarg, If develpoers are more concerned with making free software, then they will create software without thinking of any ideological dillemmas. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open source software is free from ideological dillemmas such as cost inherent in non- free programs., Open source programmers are motivated to create a good product because their reputations are at stake, not because they are payed to. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open source software will be well written., If a user downloads a copy of OSS, it does not diminish its availability for other users. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open souce software is a public good., TheApache web server is OSS that competes with commercial web servers. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) open source is a viable alternative to commercial software., Firefox is quickly supplanting Windows Internet Explorer in Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) open source is a viable alternative to commercial software., If a user can download a copy of OSS, and it does not diminish its availability for other users, and it is non excludable, then it is a public good. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open souce software is a public good., If develpoers are more concerned about create good software because they want to keep their good reputation then their work will be good work. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open source software will be well written., Open source software is free from ideological dillemmas such as cost inherent in non- free programs. Open source software is good, easy to change, and a viable alternative to closed source software., Empirical evidence suggests that developers are less concerned with the ideological split between the FSF and the OSS, than with the idea of making free software available to all. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open source software is free from ideological dillemmas such as cost inherent in non- free programs., Open source by definition is non excludable. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open souce software is a public good., Open souce software is a public good. Open source software is good, easy to change, and a viable alternative to closed source software., open source is a viable alternative to commercial software. Open source software is good, easy to change, and a viable alternative to closed source software., If there are competitive alternatives to commercial software in open source, then open source is a viable alternative to commercial software. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) open source is a viable alternative to commercial software., If develpoers are more concerned with making free software, then they will create software without thinking of any ideological dillemmas. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open source software is free from ideological dillemmas such as cost inherent in non- free programs., Public goods are those things that are non-excludable and indivisible. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open souce software is a public good., Empirical evidence suggests that developers are less concerned with the ideological split between the FSF and the OSS, than with the idea of making free software available to all. Therefore: (ArgScheme Modus Ponens) Open source software is free from ideological dillemmas such as cost inherent in non- free programs., Open source software will be well written. Open source software is good, easy to change, and a viable alternative to closed source software.
