| | Eric S. Raymond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Stallman is the original author of some of the most widely used and sophisticated pieces of free software in the world, including Emacs, GCC, GDB, and GNU Make. | | | His disagreement with Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation's views on the ethics of free software in favour of a more market-driven stance has exacerbated some pre-existing tensions in the community. | | | His involvement with hacker culture began in 1976 and he contributed to his first open source software project in 1982. |

| | The Cathedral and the Bazaar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Cathedral and the Bazaar (abbreviated CatB) is an essay by Eric S. Raymond on software engineering methods, based on his observations of the Linux kernel development process and his experiences managing an open source project, fetchmail. | | | In contrast, Raymond claims that an inordinate amount of time and energy must be spent hunting for bugs in the Cathedral model, since the working version of the code is available only to a few developers. | | | The essay's central thesis is Raymond's proposition that Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow (which he terms Linus's law): if the source code is available for public testing, scrutiny, and experimentation, then bugs will be discovered at a rapid rate. |

| | Open Source Software |
| | Eric Raymond is the most visible spokesperson for what is called "open source software." Unlike proprietary software, in which the original code is disguised as a string of 1s and 0s, open source can be read and modified. | | | Eric Raymond and other Linux supporters were in Washington recently demanding refunds from Microsoft for Windows software they didn't want to buy. | | | Raymond sees Linux's lower cost and greater reliability leading to a fundamental change in the way software is created. |

| | Salon 21st Let my software go! |
| | Raymond's essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" is one of the most eloquent explications of the theory that software design is best served by having a community of independent hackers work together in an atmosphere of complete openness. | | | Raymond is an influential advocate of the principle of free software -- which declares that the best way to produce quality software is to give the world free access to the underlying source code. | | | Raymond isn't Moses -- the free software movement doesn't have any one leader -- but the Netscape announcement has indeed given the hard-core geeks of the world a glimpse at the Promised Land. |

| | Eric S. Raymond |
| | Eric Raymond is a computer programmer, and a loud and avowed libertarian. | | | In Raymond's lexicon, proprietary software is the "cathedral" approach, where customers receive whatever is offered, take it or leave it. | | | Open source software, by contrast, is the bazaar -- a wild marketplace where anyone and everyone can grab the software they want, adapt it to their specific needs, de-bug and re-jigger everything at will, and then anyone else can grab the new and improved, de-bugged and re-jiggered software. |

| | Interview: Eric Raymond goes back to basics |

| | About ESR's Articles |
| | ESR justly reminds that paying authors for the value of the information they produced is a mirage that can't ever be implemented. | | | Eric has since confirmed that he regards ownership of software as continuous with other intangible property rights, and considers it fully justified by his classical-liberal and libertarian principles. | | | Any apparent contradiction detected by ESR between free software practice and theory seems to me as due to a consequential misreading of free software theory, which he reduces to the common consensus on free software licenses. |

| | ESR believes that the advantages that FOSS have over proprietary software are so great that companies that engage in that kind of activity still won't be able to compete against FOSS solutions. | | | I think the point that ESR is trying to make is that it doesn't matter if some company steals open source software and uses it to create a proprietary product. | | | The bottom line, if I understand ESR correctly, is that the lowered process friction of FOSS means that the open source community will always be able to out innovate any proprietary company through sheer force of numbers. |
