NURSING INFORMATICS (OSS FS)

GNU/Linux

-contains the Linux kernel at its heart and all the OSS/FS components required to produce full operating system functionality -is a term that is increasingly used by many people to cover a distribution of operating systems and other associated software components.

Ubuntu

-is a Linux-based operating system for desktop, server, netbook, and cloud computing environments. First released in 2004,

Debian GNU/Linux

-is a free distribution of the Linux-based operating system. It includes a large selection of prepackaged application software, plus advanced package management tools to allow for easy installation and maintenance on individual systems and workstation clusters

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

-is a high-end Linux distribution geared toward businesses with mission-critical needs

OpenEHR Foundation

-is an international, not-for profit organization working toward the development of interoperable, lifelong EHRs -was created to enable the development of open specifications, software, and knowledge resources for HISs, in particular EHR systems. It publishes all its specifications and builds reference implementations as OSS/FS. It also develops archetypes and a terminology for use with EHRs.

Shareware

-is another form of commercial software, which is offered on a "try before you buy" basis. If the customer continues to use the product after a short trial period, or wishes to use additional features, they are required to pay a specified, usually nominal, license fee.

Free software

-is defined by the FSF in terms of four freedoms for software users: to have the freedom to use, study, redistribute, and improve the software in any way they wish. A program is only free software, in terms of the FSF definition, if users have all of these freedoms

Freeware

-is software offered free of charge, but without the freedom to modify the source code and redistribute the changes, so it is not free software

Proprietary software

-is that on which an individual or company holds the exclusive copyright, at the same time restricting other people's access to the software's source code and/or the right to copy. modify, and study the software

Linux

-was originally the name of the kernel created by Linus Torvalds, which has grown from a one-man operation to now having over 200 maintainers representing over 300 organizations.

"The Cathedral and the Bazaar"

The most well-known description of the distinction between OSS/FS and proprietary models of software development lies in Eric Raymond's famous essay, _______________________

Two major philosophies in the OSS/FS world

Licensing

_____________ is defined by Merriam- Webster (2010) as giving the user of something permission to use it; in the case here, that something is software.
