This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Matthew Brooks - Open Source Software 1, Advocates of OSS claim that its developers/users are motivated to do quality work because not only are they developing software for their own use, but their reputations amoung their peers also are at stake therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) it doesn't matter that they aren't getting paid, If OSS developers can join or quit an effort strictly on their own initiative, then these OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) These OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute, If an OSS developer were to write irresponsible code, then others contributing to the open source software would be unlikely to accept it which provides built-in individual accountability therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Others contributing to the open source software would be unlikely to accept it which provides built-in individual accountability, If there is the potential for rushing work because of the monetary gain of releasing a product on time, then potentially there will be more bugs will be in the product and quality will suffer even though it is a commercial process therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Potentially there will be more bugs will be in the product and quality will suffer even though it is a commercial process, If commercial software vendors are not concerned about the ethics of using their software, then critics should not hold OSS software to a higher ethical standard for downstream use or abuse therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Critics should not hold OSS software to a higher ethical standard for downstream use or abuse, Commercial software vendors are not concerned about the ethics of using their software therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Critics should not hold OSS software to a higher ethical standard for downstream use or abuse, Critics of OSS claim that OSS developers will not do professional quality work if there is no compensation like there is in commercial products contradicts it doesn't matter that they aren't getting paid, OSS Peers hold OSS developers accountable for their contributions supports Others contributing to the open source software would be unlikely to accept it which provides built-in individual accountability, OSS software is defined as non-excludable and indivisible therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) OSS is a public good, An OSS developer is not paid for creating and maintaining a piece of software therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The developer may not feel the same obligation to do a quality job, There is the potential for rushing work because of the monetary gain of releasing a product on time therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Potentially there will be more bugs will be in the product and quality will suffer even though it is a commercial process, If a newcomer to open source development has very little in terms of reputation and project leaders are less open to new ideas and ways of doing stuff, then they must take in new ideas and respond constructively in order to nurture both the idea and the developer of the idea therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) They must take in new ideas and respond constructively in order to nurture both the idea and the developer of the idea, If OSS developers use the software themselves from the beginning, then the user is envolved from the beginning therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The user is envolved from the beginning, If advocates of OSS claim that its developers/users are motivated to do quality work because not only are they developing software for their own use, but their reputations amoung their peers also are at stake, then it doesn't matter that they aren't getting paid therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) it doesn't matter that they aren't getting paid, The best piece of software for the current environment will survive supports These OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute, These OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute contradicts The developer may not feel the same obligation to do a quality job, These OSS developers are not coerced into participation and willingly contribute supports it doesn't matter that they aren't getting paid, OSS developers use the software themselves from the beginning therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The user is envolved from the beginning, If an OSS developer is not paid for creating and maintaining a piece of software, then the developer may not feel the same obligation to do a quality job therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The developer may not feel the same obligation to do a quality job, There is a release date commercial developers work towards therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) There is the potential for rushing work because of the monetary gain of releasing a product on time
