GREEN REVOLUTION OF SOFTWARE INDUSTRY

Open–Source movement/ free software movement began in 1983 when Richard Stallman announced the GNU. Idea was to start a freedom of movement for users of computers replacing software with restrictive licensing terms for free software.
These days this is referred as the green revolution of the IT sector, the earlier green revolution of the agricultural sector, brought about by scientists of Mexico, was due to the innovation of the HYV seeds, ones that have disease-resistance, high productivity and other desirable properties. Now compare and contrast this with the innovative idea of the open source software that gave way to the sowing of the creative ideas and capitalising on them by the real nerds, the hackers, whom the media has insinuated in the notorious image of the computer criminals!!


Now, this faction of innuendo-proof(disease-resistant) and high yielding software developers(geeks) syndicated to form the most popular enterprises of today Mozilla, Ubuntu, Paypal etc.; with some leading firms like Google, Sun etc. following the suite, thanks :) to their visionary leaders. But the true success does not only lie only in creation, that these people have been doing since ages, rather in acceptance of it. So users Thanks to U 2!! And today with Google becoming the leading software firm :D, the time has proved that this world is ready to accept the freedom of Business in real sense; it is no longer allowing any one "gate" to control this world of geeks and tie their creative skills into chains in the name of commercialization.

Hey! now please don't think this to be a drastic upturn of events suddenly, as if some outbreak of a fountain head in a day or so; this is what is referred to as the RISE OF NATIONS... This is the long cherished philosophy of collegial model of organization; and gradually, people came to terms with it.

The real individuals, who had since time immemorial been burned, poisoned, isolated by the so-called social humans. You remember Galileo, Copernicus, Socrates and many others how they were suppressed by the catholics!! :( But these hard core people, unperturbed of the charges like egotists blah-blah..., with the real motive of selflessly serving the society, did everything save yield!! And now their seeds, their hard-work, their vision, their perseverance is bearing fruits. We should be proud that we have come a long way up in the civilizational hierarchy that we can accept the purest form of business and individual. The world is undergoing another renaissance.
So, CHEERS FRIENDS!!!
