Be Legal or Illegal

02 Nov

Software include in it Operating System indeed is a main part to end user, so that they can use computation without knows how it works. Software also help a lot of things in a life, especially for white colars life..

When microsoft raised up in 90’s decade, the software developing was change. Mr. Bill Gates with an capitalism marketing and of course with his golden boy that is Windows, make a lot of money from license that it got…Windows take all over the world :D

When Linus Trovald came with his Unix Kernel called linux, world confronted with two choice.. Use free or buy ?? It cannot be denied that in Indonesia, piracy is like a mushroom that grow up in a rainny day :P  
The main purpose off it is to get free licensed software, including me of course when i’m still on de college :P

Now, legality become my concern.. If you don’t want use licensed software, just use Open Source or else that free, just stop piracy. Also, I works on de Government and its worked area is in Information Technology, hmm i thinks it really very close to the software :P  and it must be a leader to build an IT life without piracy.

Talk about licenses in a software..There are 2 main part of software when we try to divided it by free or not.
1. Open Source or free
Free and Open source is a different, but public asumption make it impress loo like.. Generally, open source is a free software, but free software not sure an open source software.. We can use this software without pay any IDR indeed

2. Propietary 
We must pay when we want to use this software type. This type divided into three type again:
- OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) 
OEM is a licensed to hardware. The Software only can be use or legal in a machine that has it licensed. When you use the software in different machine, it becomes illegally.

- OLP (Open Licensed ehmm Program or Product, sorry i forgot it :P )
This type is a licensed by amount. Case, you buy Micrft SQL Server for 5 Computer. You can use the software in a differents computer as long as amount of computer that use it, can be more than 5. This type of licensed not only amount in a same software. You can mix it with more than one softwere. For example : you buy an OLP licensed for 5 software and the softwares consist of 2 MySQL server and 3 Office

- FPP (Full Package Product) 
This licensed is the most expensive. Usually, we buy this software in a retail or softwre shop as a box software. We will get a box that consist of CD instalation, Manual, User License etc…depends on what software that you buy.

Soo, want an open source or propietary??
