The Open Source Movement

p. 363-365

A new threat out side the legal system emerged against the company of Microsoft. It was an operating system known as Linux. What separated this system from any other operation system is the ability it has to change. It was the start of an open-source software movement that helped Linus Torvalds create a system that could be freely modified an thus become more robust as time went on. Very much an anti-Bill Gates ideal ( Gates wanting a Windows system code that could not be cloned or modified).
