- Open-source software powers nearly all the world’s major companies. This software is freely available, and is developed collaboratively, maintained by a broad network that includes everyone from unpaid volunteers to employees at competing tech companies. Here’s how giving away software for free has proven to be a viable business model.

The Rise Of Open-Source Software
Open-source helps move tech forward quicker.
@Everything everyone can help prevent penetration as well. White hat hackers exist to beef up infrastructure.
Everything You can still have protections set up with open source...
@Everything Absolutely false, Security through obscurity is no security at all
@Everything I agree with Rezalion , That which was exploited by hackers get recognized and get paid to become white hats to beef up security. Turning what was once bad into good for others. It's a good article subject to look into. That which was bad, pushes for new learning for those that do which is good and it becomes a war of balance and learning progress for new technologies. Kindal ike AMD vs Nvidia have to up each other on new innovations to keep the market flow good for consumers.
@Everything Take Bitcoin as an example. It's open source software but nobody has been able to penetrate it.
"Affirming the company's commitment to open source", yeah right!
To all the Open Source Software Developers, Thank you so much.
This discussion is missing a few fundamental realities. The most basic one is Unix. Unix and the C programming language emerged from AT&T Bell Laboratories. But, versions of Unix were widely used as proprietary operating systems of important computing devices. Unix code was typically available as open source but not for free. Unix had a shared development model where different companies could incorporate other company's enhancements. But, fees had to be paid for intellectual property. The BSD distribution of Unix goes back to before 1980. Unix's support for networking was the result of the work of four programmers at UC Berkeley supported by the United States government. That code was available as open source software without any intellectual property constraints. The development of the internet was also paid for by the United States government. IBM was one of the prime contractors. But, the work of developing software was carried out under the direction of academic service organizations. That work produced a distribution of GATED software that would run on a wide variety of Unix systems. That software was all freely available open source code. The big value in Richard Stallman's work was in the tools. Those tools were the foundation of any public open source development. By the early 1990's high quality tools like EMACs were already available. The C programming language, the Unix C API, and the Free Software Foundation software development tools were all major requirements for Linus Torvalds work. IBM already built its Power series computers around AIX, its version of Unix, in the late 1980's. IBM was quick to exploit Linux. A port of Linux to run on IBM mainframe computers was already created in the late 1990's. By then IBM already had a strategy of making open source contributions to the Linux environment and using open source software like Apache for significant system functions. Another major effort was the competition between the Unix server vendors and Microsoft's server software. A big part of that effort was Sun's attempt to establish Java as the primary software application language. IBM and many other companies bought into Sun's effort. But Sun's business failed. The big significance of Android is in its success establishing a Java API as the standard for commodity smart phone applications instead of Steve Ballmer's hope of making Windows and its software tools the standard across the whole computer equipment space. I think a small company that Google eventually bought did the actual work of developing Android's Java API.
Thanks for clarification r u saying open source has always been backed by companies like sun and ibm
The first ones that comes to mind when thinking pioneers advocating open source is Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, Ubuntu and Red Hat.
I was thinking switching to Linux because using pirated Windows doesn't feel right but the problem is, I'm also a gamer. Yes I've heard about how gaming on Linux has gotten better but is it gonna be the same experience on Windows? I really wanna try it though.
There is a different between free(as in libre) and open source though, and we should strive toward free software, not opensource
Linux is only the kernel not an operating system and it was first introduced as a part of the GNU Project. Very big mistake, CNBC didn't do their HW preparing the report.
damn that robot voice is nice
I too wear a hoodie when programming.
But you make the most mistakes, am I right?
_watches mr robot once_
Lol. I once tried making a botnet to find aliens through radiotelecope data. But i couldnt figure out how to run the script.

3DsMax: 3000$/year

Blender:Free.
Yet 3Ds Max don't have MacOS port :D
Blender is amazing. It‘s free, it‘s powerful and it‘s lightweight. You can run it on nearly every pc and on every OS.
as an architect and a vfx artist we ditched every other software and replaced it with blender its user friendly and powerful and community is just hearth worming.
yup...our studio is switching to blender soon.....excited about it
Blender is awesome 😃
It's quite inaccurate to suggest that github standardized the way people collaborate on code projects. This credit goes to Linus Torvalds who invented git
Linus didn't invent git, he wrote it. Other collaborative development system models already existed at the time. Linus simply wrote another. Because the one he liked (Bitkeeper) others screwed up Linux using it. They tried cracking the networking protocol it used. which the developer didn't appreciate. So he revoked Linux's use of his code. Which left Linus in a bit of a spot.
SourceForge was first, git is just another version control system
Without the tools that companies like Github and Google built around git, git would have died. Most developers simply cannot be bothered with arcane commands in a terminal. So yes, Github was probably the major force behind git's adoption.
@@SnoopyDoofie developers who simply cannot be bothered with arcane commands in a terminal really are in the wrong line of work. They can't be too good at their jobs either.

Open source is the reason why we have so many startups spawning and releasing their products so quickly. and one of the main reason an undergraduate fresher nowadays start contributing within few days with minimal training.
tech support
very true, if software was proprietary, then the barriers to entry would be too high for the regular person (only corporations could innovate, and they don't innovate, they build walls to solidify their position). The world needs fresh ideas, we need the innovators to provide solutions to our many problems, the ones that the corporations and governments don't want to bother with, and open source software is a key enabler in this struggle
It's also why many programmers use Ctrl c Ctrl v so much
i'd say 3/4 of the software i use as a data scientist is open source. couldn't imagine why anyone would pay for something like SAS when there's R and Python.
Yeah. God bless you and everyone supporting open sources
What are some open source software which I could try. I am a beginner in this.
R is on its way out, never got to use it, only Python for data science and ML stuff.
I do 98% open source. I've been in the biz for over 40 years, before most of you were in short pants.
Exactly 💯... we wouldn't be chatting on this platform without open source period!

I remember how people got scared when Microsoft bought github

@@FactoTrivia Mozilla is a well respected, non-profit tech company in the industry. Its core values are based upon being open source, among other things. I believe they're typically brought up when this topic is discussed, so it was a little surprising for them to not be mentioned.

Every other company: it's free real state

^don't fall for this. lol
Also Everyone: nope, it's just as free as the air we breathe
Software development companies aren’t really effected by open source projects in a negative way. It still takes a software developer to understand & implement open sourced code. Also it takes one to customize it specifically to a clients needs. It actually helps software development companies more than anything.
Software development company are heavily relying on open source software and also release open source code. And it has been the case for a while.
My printer has no open source, I'll open my company.
It most likely runs Linux as well - just as most comparable devices nowadays do.
Ask its vendor for GPL compliant sources if they're not published on their website.
yeah its actually open software. You have to open up your pc first and remove the RAM stick in order for it to work openly. The RAM is what keeps it closed.
Hahahaha

Video titled "RISE of Open Source Software" in 2019? It's like you're 15 years behind on this news. 15 YEARS.
I was in college when the RISE was happening... was part of few projects & ran FOSS activities in parts of my country.
You missed a whole decade where the biggest proprietary software house Microsoft - fought, ridiculed, tried to shut down the whole Open Source movement,
and finally now accepts & SELLS open source software as service on their cloud. A whole decade where Chrome browser & Android started from 0 and took over the market.
And today, in your video you say "companies like Microsoft contribute heavily to open source" ... What LOL.
Please tell me there are more people who've seen foss expand are watching this video and laughing!
They even had SCO as a proxy try to sue them out of existence.

So the open source community started because a printer stopped working...
Sounds legit
Lol typical
Honestly, printers are still a big problem, especially ink jet ones and their "software updates".
It should be titled "What Frustration can do"
That is actually how the GNU project started and kudos to CNBC for including it. That way it's at least indirectly hinted at that everything was open source before Microsoft came along and "The Rise Of Open-Source Software" is actually a resurgence. I don't even mind them conflating Open Source and FOSS, it is meant for non-developers after all, though rms is probably unhappy.
Sounds like the plot the sequel to office space.
Open-source software ≠ Free software
Also: ...
Github ≠ Git
Gratis or Libre?
yeah but...
Github ∈ Git

what a dramatic pause!
It kinda does. If I get access to something's software open source I can reverse engineer pretty much whatever I want at no cost to me.
@@GarlicGrinder9 one can be given a software for free (no money) and have no access to the code (closed source).
Reverse enginneer of closed source is not easy, it's costly and clumbersome. (Try wine with an application bellow bronze rating to verify yourself)
On the other hand. There are apllicatios which allows access to the code under protection of a licence. In some cases one can look at the code but is not allowed to use commercially because of the copyrights. (Is it open source? Not in the way we want! In this case open!= free)
Does every CNBC video have to start with “the rise of...”?

@@lashlarue7924 You kinda should be unhappy. Or at least curious. Linux is depending on Microsoft, whose biggest product is an operating system.
"The rise of" it has always been there the problem is that there was a huge drive to privatise it.
Intellectual prorperty isn't real, and is a government creation. So whrm Microsoft was calling it unamerican, they were trying to get the gov to regulate it. If anyone has common sense or knows anything about economics, they'd understand regulating this would destroy the service
Open source works fine now, why do u want to nationalize it?
@Brian Rogers completely agree, the same thing should be done to research papers. It is ridiculous that a scientist has to pay for access to cutting edge research, it only slows scientific progress.
Bittzen I agree with that, but the question that comes to my mind is wether not regulating intellectual property would actually take the incentive to produce a better quality software or service.
Maybe we’ll end up with something like Spotify that runs on advertisements in order to prevent this problem. Instead of music, its the software
That is why it is important to choose a free software license which has strong protections against privatisation, like strong GPL. Unfortunately BSD and other weak licenses do not protect against privatisation and that is whz it is naive to use those. So yeah make sure you use GPL open source.
Another funding model not discussed here is when companies hire developers to maintain open source software that the company depends on.

@@afiqfikridaud9417 Because they had to. Software developers highly value whether a programming language is open source or not. Microsoft needed to open the source of their development tools so they can grow in popularity.
However, ask the average Windows 10 user if having an open source operating system is important to them. 95% of users will say no. They don't need this, they don't want this. And this is why Microsoft won't open the source of the XBox firmware, office or windows. They know exactly that they are doing. Most people just dont care.

Before Github there was Sourceforge (before the latter became a joke), and treating Github as if its wholly novel is a bit revisionist.
Sourceforge was where it was at before it became loaded with ads and malware. 😂
They did seem to give GitHub a lot of undeserved credit. My answer to that is another question:... Who created Git? :)
The workflow in GitHub is completely different from Sourceforge and leverages a ton of the built in Git functionality. If anything, Sourceforge is based around the CVS way of thinking which is hilariously outdated.
@@BlownMacTruck that might be because SF was started in 1999 (using SVN and CVS) before GIT was even around (2004-5). By that point, SF's parent company was a shell of its former self, and the project was far from its original mission.

What I'm taking away from this video is that companies are open sourcing their code so they rely heavily on volunteers to write that software and pocket those earnings.
In a way yeah, but everyone can also fork an open source project and build their own thing. So in theory anyone could profit off the labour of volunteers.

@@gavin9715 Hardly. There are still some tweaks that a company needs, and if you have something business critical, support is good, in house expertise is better.
@@dm2060 The money is still in the commercial sector. So your fork can never compete with the polished software build on opensource.

@@MuhammadAli-dk6dz not one person's pet project maybe, but a bunch of collaborators can create open source projects that are as good as closed source commercial products. Look at matlab vs scilab vs octave for example.
I started using Linux and open source software 20 years ago, I am really pleased to see how things have evolved!
The big problem in programming is the learning curve when you are just getting started. Getting a compiler uses to cost like 1599 or some ungodly amount but they would not sell less than 10 license copy to a kid. All I wanted is a single license. The student version was always limited because you don't need all that function. How to access MS Access using C++ at the time. I made the correct line of code and the student compiler said, "Why do you need to connect to a database?" I'm like trying to f-ing learn here and MS stopped my progress. MS owes me my childhood back.
Today, I can get open source, learn, and if I can make a business or get sponsorship, I can do that. I am happy that everything is open-source now. It allows me the freedom to be creative. I only wish is that I can go back to 1990's and be developing at an early age.

Richard Stallman is for Free Software Community, not Open Source, as he said years ago. That's a question of Philosophy.
Many people confuse
richard stallman would be furious watching this piece, it practically shows how much of a paradise the world has become but the reality is, big corps have made open source theirs so everyone can contribute to their projects but no one can make essential independent software that actually works on a modern hardware. you cant make a new OS and install it on your laptop or phone because of drivers, you cant stay anonymous because almost every single important service that you use is some sort of subscription. What Richard Stallman visioned was not just to have access to code, he also wanted it to be free to use elsewhere, anonymous, changeable and deployable however ppl wanted, etc.
You should also cover rise of open source (ISAs) (RISC-V) (Which enable open source hardware). Soon cpus will be cheaper, because of more competition and no AMD and Intel duopoly. X86 ISA is licence to print money. ISAs want to be free!

Big data. Is the dream engine of the 21st century. As big now as oil in the 20th and coal in the 19th.
as a software engineer and cybersecurity expert, I would like to acknowledge you that there are many loopholes in open source software which can backtrace by the license holding company of that open-source software and can be used by other security agencies.it is for there benefits basically, it's all about the profit. you make a better version of it and you don't even get paid but at same time you used it. basically, companies that hold a license for that software can easily can excess to your source code without your concerns.
Microsoft might seam like an open source leader, but they repeatedly refuse to open source the important stuff. For example, instead of their primary IDE Visual Studio, they made open source a Visual Studio Code, not an IDE just a editor.
:c
I believe Visual Studio IDE has some interrelated Windows code. Moreover, It's their default IDE for Windows. Why would they open-source it anyway?
2018 Github is bought by Microsoft
2019 MS: We love open source. You should too!
2024 MS: We're going to put a few restrictions.

I agree this is a very valid concern
this is exactly what is happening, and that's very sad :'-( Micro$oft is cancer !
you dont really understand, oos is different from regular monopolies. developers can switch easily if they dont like it
Actually, I expect that Microsoft will either open-source its OS, or change its NT underbelly to Linux anyway, if it doesn't want to become irrelevant. The danger to open source software could very well loom on the horizon when China takes over the bulk of software development. And no, this isn't your usual anti-China rhetoric of the day: I'm thinking of Huawei's very real attempts to introduce stuff like this as part of the Internet protocols: www.engadget.com/2020-03-30-china-huawei-new-ip-proposal.html More of this, and we may soon face closed-source software blobs as in the bad old days... but this time not from Microsoft and its NDA-partners, but from the IT hardware manufacturers, which would be, of course, from China.
TempleOS anybody?
In the 90’s Microsoft said Linux was a cancer cause it was gonna hurt his greedy business. Everything is about money.
And they were right. Linux hurt Microsoft business in server market. 95% servers, embedded systems etc are running some form Unix system. Even Azure runs more Linux than Windows servers at backend - LOL.
I like how Satya Nadella changed that greedy evil mentality at Microsoft in a good way. They have certainly up their game in a good way.
You did not just accredit Google or Android for the rise of Linux...
Well on the consumer side they deserve much of the credit.
@O(∩_∩)O That's true, but a huge spike in popularity has to do with the progression of GUI in Linux for basic users. Ubuntu for example got more popular few years before Android and most basic users are not even aware that Android has anything to do with Linux. Only if you look overall usage of Linux Kernels that could be true. But if we are talking Linux overall for basic users at home as an OS with all the distros out there, then no, Android had nothing to do with it.
I'd love to learn coding to join these communities, but I don't know what I'd make, and I keep trying to pick up other skills like art or film.

Lmao who wrote this piece of garbage?
Bitcoin, Monero and Steem. These projects are decentralized, open source and highly disruptive software projects.
Steem is awesome i make about 10 dollars in Bitcoin per day using it just posting content and crypto news
Steem is not decentralized.
yes, cryptocurrency/blockchain is amazing, and most of these technologies are built using Open Source !
I remember when I was at DeVry Institute back in 1997 - 1999, I learned C++ and Visual Basics. I haven't kept up with any programming languages ever since due to being in the service. They had no programming positions unfortunately so basically I became rusty. Now almost 20 years later there are all these new languages out and I am having a hard time keeping up. I'm using the Sololearn app to brush up on some Python. I'm trying to learn for fun currently. Seems not too hard to pick up.
Switched to Linux on my home computer last year. I feel so stunted having to work on Windows at work.
Feel the same, bro. I have been using linux for home and work since 2009, and I had to use windows in my new job since mid last year.
I too started using linux bout a month ago no regrets
Yeah but you get paid to run Windows.
If you’ve only been using Linux for one year I seriously doubt you’ve gotten so into it that you’ve suddenly felt restrained using Windows or any other operating system.
@@1pcfred , fair enough :)
Open source is great though this highly misrepresents it. The vast majority of revenue driving software is still proprietary. Utilities are open sourced when it's in the best interest of the developers to share for collaboration. Major companies still maintain their trade secrets. Android as an example was not some altruistic contribution from Google, they couldn't make it closed source because it's just a flavor of Linux that already had an open source license. They used it because it required little effort on their part and allows them access to users for other services which they can generate revenue from. None of which are open source.
Also the CEO of GitHub implied that every GitHub user is an open source contributor when in reality the vast majority of them are amateur programmers or students that have yet to make any real contribution to a meaningful software project. Sure their intro to CS homework is open source, it's also completely useless. Major projects that are used by tons of people aren't maintained by amateurs generally speaking. They have major sponsorship from big tech companies who's engineers manage the projects and contribute to them. Institutions or companies that operate entirely in the open source world are still rare overall.

@@diegomarquez3293 you probably use gnome ya hypocrite
Gross oversimplification. Companies still rely on most of their code not being open sourced so they can make profit. Open source is a big deal, but it's only 50% of the pie.
Companies are still very much proprietary and vendor locking everything they can. They only like to use open-source technologies themselves to build their ecosystems around it for cheaper and then just lock in the last user-facing piece.
Typical examples are Google with Android (linux core + proprietary services on top) and Stadia (Linux + Vulkan core and their proprietary cloud access)
Also how is Microsoft leader in the open-source world? Office 365, Office 2019, Windows 10, Xbox operating system, Directx12, Skype, and pretty much all other of their end-user products are pretty much proprietary.
Yeah, it’s more of the tools to make software that are open source, rather than the actual software
@@joeg4609 It's fine, but then they shouldn't propagate themselves like a true lover of freedom and open-source just for the PR and media like MS does. All of their user-facing products are very much proprietary and they just abuse open-source technologies for their own interests.

well there are multiple Director of Engineering people for one department.

Open source has many advantages like shown in the video, but it has inevitable drawbacks that proprietary software can do. For example, because of how Android is open source and many companies edit it a bit to suit their needs, it is a lot harder to create something that can be supported across all devices running androis compared to proprietary software. Closed system software is often built from scratch which means it can be more easily shaped to fit the hardware it runs on and bring on its full potential.
Ummm... How exactly is the Proprietary software advantageous here?
@@jascrandom9855 I'm not saying proprietary software is better than open source, but there are both pros and cons to using open source, pros are in the video and cons are shown above.
I hope I will not get this recommendation: *The fall of open-source software*
As a newcomer Software Engineering student I appreciate open source projects a lot. They are a great way to learn new things about a coding language or how some feature could be done. They help a lot with checking out logic and self-improvement.
Hey I’m a software engineering student rn , can you help with how I get started in coding
One key point missed in this video, was that Torvalds was developing Linux (a kernel without a tool-set) around the same time that Stallman was developing GNU (a tool-set without a kernel). Independently neither project was particularly interesting. What made Open Source EXPLODE, was the realisation that both projects fit hand-in-glove together. People began to create "Distributions" of Linux and GNU as a single unit (GNU/Linux) - Distributions like Red Hat, Suse, Slackware, and others is what really made the Open Source movement take off. None of it would have happened without all three factors meeting at the same time to create the Perfect Storm. Another key point to note: GitHub was built around Git, another of Torvalds' projects, that he wrote to manage the development of the Linux kernel. (Ive used Linux since 1993, First kernel 0.99.6)
hmm, so in programming world; proprietary capitalism is losing and open-sauce communi(sm)ty win.

Open-source went from free sharing to big companies using thousands of programmers to fix their a applications for free.
Big tech loves free labor.
Not Open Source... it's FREE and Open Source. You mention, by way of clips of interviews of collaborators the FREE part, but you yourself downplay it. It's disingenuous, please adjust yourself, and do better.

Hey brah
I don't see how Microsoft can be a "leader of open source" when Windows, its main product, is proprietary.
@gilkesisking Wow. I am so glad I finally got with the program and started using Ubuntu/Lubuntu. There's a learning curve, but it's not overly complicated for anyone who just wants to learn à la carte.
uwu manko Current windows has a Linux kernel, WSL 2
@@lashlarue7924 Linux is incredibly complicated. You just haven't scratched the surface of it yet.
@@1pcfred Sure, it can be as complicated as you need it to be - to make it do whatever you want it to do - but casual users can still learn to use it to just run applications. I partitioned my hard drive and run a dual boot environment. I don't even think Ubuntu is fundamentally any more challenging to configure that Windows, it's just a matter of what you're used to.
@@lashlarue7924 there certainly different levels you can interact on. You can definitely install Linux and browse the web without any fuss. Unless you want to use wi-fi. Then it may be a tad tricky. With the utilities available and all of the configuration files in the system it goes far deeper than that though.
Microsoft is NOT a leader in open-source software, only in advertising themselves as such. There are so many things they could easily open-source without effecting their profit margins in any tangible way, except perhaps positively due to the good PR. They only pay lip-service to open-source and even that which they claim to support shouldn't be confused with free software (think free speech, not price), which is what Richard Stallman supports. Open-source is actually a common (positive, in my opinion) side effect of free software, not necessarily a requirement.
The rise happened this last 10 years, once again a bit late for the party.
