This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Project CMAP 1, If developers are less apt to cut corners, then the quality of the code will be higher. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open source software is high quality., Open source software is of lesser quality than commercial software. Refutes Open source software is high quality., When no release deadlines are imposed on developers, the developers are less apt to cut corners. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS developers are less apt to cut corners., Open source software accepts contributions from many developers. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Bugs and errors in OSS are found and fixed quickly., When a project receives contribution from many developers, bugs and errors are found and fixed quickly. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Bugs and errors in OSS are found and fixed quickly., OSS developers have a high level of autonomy. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS developers are accountable., OSS developers are motivated to maintain a good repuation among peers. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS developers are accountable., Open source software does not manipulate the customer for profit. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a positive ethical force in the world of computing., If software comes with source code, it is a good teaching tool. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a good teaching tool., If OSS developers are volunteers, they can join or change projects at any time. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS developers can change projects at any time., OSS software is produced by people working for free. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open source software is of lesser quality than commercial software., OSS developers are less apt to cut corners. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open source software is high quality., Commercial software often does not come with source code. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a good teaching tool., Universities have a responsibility to expose students to different ideas. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Universities need to expose students to both OSS and commercial software., OSS developers are accountable. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a positive ethical force in the world of computing., When software devlopers have personal motivation, they are more accountable in their work. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS developers are accountable., OSS Apache web servers are the most used web servers on the internet. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Apache has no serious quality issues, OSS developers can change projects at any time. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS developers have a high level of autonomy., Open source software is high quality. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a positive ethical force in the world of computing., If a university has a duty to expose students to new ideas, they need to expose students to both OSS and commerical software. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Universities need to expose students to both OSS and commercial software.
