One of the most significant developments in the software and web 
development community in the past few years has been the increased use 
of open source software. It's vital for any programmer, web designer, or 
other computer professional to understand that open source licenses are 
not all the same. The differences between licenses can have a big impact 
on how you may use or distribute the software.
