Let Software Run Free | The Cathedral & The Bazaar (Eric S. Raymond) BOOK REVIEW

About this episode

What is Open Source and why is it changing the world?


'The Cathedral & The Bazaar' by Eric S. Raymond is a collection of essays describing the ethics, philosophy, history and implementation of the Open Source movement. As computer hardware became available to larger groups many wanted to play & tinker with their devices. Closed Source software (owned by companies) was restrictive so people worldwide began to collaborate on projects that was free to download and use. This resulted in a unique culture and economic incentives that gave rise to hugely influential software like the Linux operating system.
