Open source is a new notation in computer field, defied by Debian.

Open source includes Free Distribution. That is to say person who gain the origin code can distribute it again. In this open situation, everyone can manage the advanced program in software market.

First, it is a big deal for fair. Human wisdom should benefit human beings. Open Source for individual or firms can take full advantage for programming. Otherwise, much potential creative ideas are buried in silence.

Second, Open Source is in favor of prosperous of market. If someone owns the unique technology, he or she can dominate that field for generations, which goes against booming market developing. But with Open Source everyone can use that advanced code to deriving works. And then it will stimulate some new idea and reproduce some similar but prefer products at the same time constantly improving.

Third, Open Source is benefits for multiple progressing. Most perfect programming are based on other’s foundation. It will cost time from zero to climax and it is a kind of wasting. Open Source offer a platform in compliment. People in a higher level will create more advanced programming in a short time and cost less money, which is good news for consumers.

 It is a revolution in marketing of a strong sense of patent nation. It is hard to imagine how obstacles it met at the beginning since it is a direct challenge for patent. This will spare enormous benefit from company which own unique technology relating program code.
