The Open Source Initiative improves its licensing rules | Open Source Watch
Back on February 3rd, 1998, shortly after the Netscape web browser source code --Firefox's ancestor--was released, a group of developers came together to label and define a pragmatic, business approach to sharing software code. Of course, there was already "free software," but that term, then and now, came loaded with a particular business/political take that not everyone cares for. So, it was that at the meeting Christine Peterson came up with the term "open source." The group that would shepherd this idea going forward is the Open Source Initiative (OSI).
