The cathedral and the bazaar

     
      The cathedral and the bazaar is an assay written by Eric S. Raymond and it is inspired in the Linux kernel and the open source software. Inside the book the author analyzes a battle between two different kinds of free software standards: The cathedral and the bazaar. The cathedral is software developed by an exclusive programmers group; therefore, we can say that it is not an open source software because its kernel belong exclusively to the programmers that have been create it. In contrast to the bazaar model which the code is developed throughout internet and its code is available to everyone around the world. Everyone is free to change the code. I read over internet a good example about those different softwares “The terminology has been extended to describe non-software projects. Wikipedia is a Bazaar-style project, while Nupedia and the Encyclopædia Britannica are Cathedral-style projects. This assay developed the importance and the future of the open source software. This is an assay defending the right of free knowledge for everybody and how each one can to add something new and be applied to the different branch of society
