This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: hw_4.G, If computer science departments should utilize OSS, and if OSS is a public good, then OSS is a public good that computer science departments should utilize. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open source software (OSS) is a public good that computer science departments should utilize., If computer science departments can stay on the cutting edge of technology by using OSS, and OSS can be distributed for free or at very little cost, then OSS allows computer science departments to stay on the cutting edge without paying too much. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS allows computer science departments to stay on the cutting edge without paying too much., Computer science departments should utilize OSS. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open source software (OSS) is a public good that computer science departments should utilize., If OSS is constantly being upgraded and OSS maintains a high quality, then computer science departments can stay on the cutting edge of technology by using OSS. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Computer science departments can stay on the cutting edge of technology by using OSS., With commercial software there is always a danger that the customer is treated merely as a means to a financial end. therefore (ArgScheme: modus tollens) OSS removes the temptation of treating the customer merely as a means to a financial end., OSS removes the temptation of treating the customer merely as a means to a financial end. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS can be distributed for free or at very little cost., If software can be viewed as an extended mathematical object, akin to a theorem, then OSS could be a natural extension of the long tradition of free ideas in mathematics. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS could be a natural extension of the long tradition of free ideas in mathematics., If OSS removes the temptation of treating the customer merely as a meas to a financial end, then OSS can be distributed for free or at very little cost. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS can be distributed for free or at very little cost., Software can be viewed as an extended mathematical object, akin to a theorem. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS could be a natural extension of the long tradition of free ideas in mathematics., OSS software is not as likely to cut corners that may cause errors as proprietary software. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS maintains a high quality., If OSS meets user's requirements and OSS is tested by its developers and OSS software is not as likely to cut corners that may cause errors as proprietary software, then OSS maintains a high quality. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS maintains a high quality., OSS is not commercial software. therefore (ArgScheme: modus tollens) OSS removes the temptation of treating the customer merely as a means to a financial end., OSS is tested by its developers. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS maintains a high quality., Computer science departments can stay on the cutting edge of technology by using OSS. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS allows computer science departments to stay on the cutting edge without paying too much., Computer science departments have a limited budget for software. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Computer science departments should utilize OSS., OSS allows computer science departments to stay on the cutting edge without paying too much. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Computer science departments should utilize OSS., OSS could be a natural extension of the long tradition of free ideas in mathematics. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a public good., If OSS has imposed release deadlines, then it is more likely to cut corners that may cause errors. therefore (ArgScheme: modus tollens) OSS software is not as likely to cut corners that may cause errors as proprietary software., OSS can be distributed for free or at very little cost. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS allows computer science departments to stay on the cutting edge without paying too much., OSS is a public good. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Open source software (OSS) is a public good that computer science departments should utilize.
