Open Source Tensions with Open Design

We have explored the relationships between open design, open source and open innovation in previous chapters. Open source deserves closer attention in this case study as much of the software used in Gadgeteer is open source. Open source is one of the key connections between open design and the digital arena. Bruce Perens, the treasurer of the Open Source Initiative, characterises open source software by three key qualities. In open source anyone has the right to:

Make copies of the program, and distribute those copies;

Have access to the software’s source code, a necessary preliminary before you can change it;

Make improvements to the program. (Perens, 2008)
