OSI-approved "open Source" Licenses

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or source:

    She saw
    her five young children
    writhe and die;
    in that hour
    she began to watch you,
    she whose eyes are open forever.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    I am no source of honey
    So why should they turn on me?
    Tomorrow I will be sweet God, I will set them free.

    The box is only temporary.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
