We are talking about two major groups, proprietary software and open source software. Both terms I actively dislike. On a subconscious level, I feel they coarseness. If you try to sound, what is wrong name, you get something like this....
The technique has long had the appropriate division of the products on performance: commercial, industrial and military. There is a division of climate zones. And there are still worn equipment, portable, stationary. T. e. , It's all -classification of the product. While open source software and proprietary software is a description of the conditions of use of software ( licensing ). T. e. to the product itself is not relevant. Therefore, the word ... Software distribution has long been no limits. I once bought a magazine ... Please install as you like, use the 60 days. free. I liked - pay, or remove -. T. e. , It turns out that MS Office, as a product as a set of bits stored on the media is free. But a lot of licenses: for schools, for journalists, writers, startups, large companies, employees of large enterprises, simple individual buyers can choose for each license. License for the same set of open source bits.
Why is it important ... In documents written in formal terms the ACT. In this case it is clear that we are just about Linux. But this is not true! . But Microsoft's recent deal with Gazprom has shown a very high degree of flexibility, giving them special licensing terms and a discount of 70%. In addition, the company has long been open source state. authorities, their partners a major. Moreover, the company gives a lot of software. free. And Windows, and Office has long been distributed as shareware on the. Yes, Microsoft SPOshnee than ALTLinux Madriva'oy to put together!. Maybe in the RPE should determine the types of licenses, allowing the participation of those who provide their software, which, among other requirements, can be used in accordance with the GMP standard license?.
And it turns out that it is wrong selected, and interpreted the terminology originally cut off from participation in the program a huge reservoir of high quality software! . After all, one way or another, we are talking about Linux and the stack of technologies based on this platform. If we abandon the phrase open source software, how it's called? . n. - The fact that most professionals just understand the acronym ACT. Again. The original problem: terminology, classification.
To invent new terminology without having to do not, moreover, that in this case we have enough of the existing terms. Let's look at the world of Linux. Independent developers, as they call them, write the code. In the evening, for themselves, for fun, a hobby. As there are people who like to dig up late with a car, or addicted to radio sport, or go regularly to the football - playing with friends, with the same enthusiastic, as they are human beings. So programmers have, for which the hobby- programming. He wrote a program - sharing with other. Another something else finished the. A third said: ... What they do is called the amateur crafts: ... I like it and so. ...
Loyal and very precise terms: programmers, amateur and amateur software. Hence, a classification by ... Good old terminology, clear classification.
While you are writing programs for yourself, this is a hobby, it's fun. Once you start making them, then take the money itself has certain obligations. For example, technical support. And this is a professional league, ... And for the end user it's worth the money. What are the costs as you wish: for a license, for technical support, but it is money. And the user will have to compare the software with each other and for the money.
And here two trouble for the pop-up amateur.
The first is the price. As soon as you move into the category of pro, then you start playing against a strong opponent, for example, Microsoft. They have a large market share, so they can afford to greatly reduce the total cost of software licenses (purchase, plus technical support). Ex- lovers can not get away from the organization of the same structures for the sale of software and ... t. Dr.. and m. n. Only the market they have less and, therefore, to be in profit, it is necessary to raise the price. That's what. recently wrote one of the participants in the discussion threads ACT. :.
... And today, have decided to explore in more detail the issue price.
As a result, found that the ACT is much more expensive to treat MS.
Price £ '0 license. ', But must support for each device (server or workstation ) will cost from 2 to 24 thousand. rub. a year! .
For all this, the term decision support issues from 2 to 10 days, provided that it can be solved within this period, otherwise the problem is ' recognized unsolvable '. and how to act on the user - silence.

Miracles do not happen, what is called ACT, or ... Precisely because of its meager market share. And it is free original design practically does not help to reduce the price. It definitely will not be as significant to serious competition for market leaders.
The second trouble is proposed terms. Well, how do you imagine that in the documents NPP means using amateur software? . That sounds respectable, ACT, and probably does not matter that it is complete nonsense (and why it does not matter? Neuzhto sawing money back?).
In summary:.
a. I propose to use the terminology of amateur / professional software instead of free / proprietary software.
2. Comrades engaged GMP offer (I wonder whether it makes sense to offer?) To determine the types of licenses to use software, and do not specify a particular group of software. And it turns out that a bunch of amateur NPPshniki get software at a very high price, the classic version: ...
