Yeah, CatB became the "little red book" of the open source movement. It predates OSI and the term "open source" , but it was widely quoted as a motivation for it. The beginnings of open source, with the freeing of Mozilla, were all inspired by CatB.
- cyphar 10y agoahem Free software existed long before Linux, "Cathedral and the Bazaar", Netscape and so on. It started with the GNU project in 1984. While techincally correct to say that "open source" started then, it implies that the whole free software movement came out of that one group. It didn't.
- jordigh 10y agoI said nothing of the free software movement. I was just talking about the open source movement which came afterwards. Open source started in 1998 during the release of Mozilla.
