Glossary of open source

2008-01-24T07:54:00.001-08:00

My glossary

Open source software: Any computer program with accessible source code. Anyone is legally and technically able to change and/or redistribute the software. Unlike free software, the source code can be included in future closed source software. Open source is a controversial term that is still being defined.
http://www.netc.org/openoptions/appendices/glossary.html

Logiciel libre: Logiciel fourni avec sa source et dont l'utilisation, la diffusion et la modification sont autorisées. Un logiciel libre n'est pas forcément gratuit, même si c'est souvent le cas.
http://www.alphaquark.com/Informatique/Glossaire_info.htm#lexique

General Public Licence: GPL is a specific implementation of copyleft. This is analogous to copyright law, in which there is a general right that is implemented in various ways in different contracts and print and electronic publications. GPL prohibits proprietary patents related to modifications of the software, prohibits royalties, and requires that the same terms be attached when redistributing the software or a derivative of it.
http://www.netrino.com/Embedded-Systems/How-To/Embedded-Linux-Open-Source

Licence Publique Générale : Accord qui réglemente la distribution des logiciels libres afin que les programmes ainsi que tous les travaux dérivés soient distribués avec le code source. Selon cet accord, chaque personne est libre de diffuser, de commercialiser et de modifier un logiciel libre dès qu'elle garantit l'accès au code source et qu'elle respecte les droits d'auteur. Richard Stallman a conçu la licence GPL pour inscrire durablement les libertés de distribution de logiciels dans le projet GNU.
http://www.journaldunet.com/encyclopedie/definition/1034/41/21/general_public_licence.shtml

Creative Commons: An organization that has defined an alternative to copyrights by filling in the gap between full copyright, in which no use is permitted without permission, and public domain, where permission is not required at all. Creative Commons' licenses let people copy and distribute the work under specific conditions, and general descriptions, legal clauses and HTML tags for search engines are provided for several license options.
http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/defineterm.jhtml?term=CreativeCommons

Creative Commons: Association proposant gratuitement des contrats flexibles de droit d'auteur pour diffuser ses créations et permettre à d’autres de les utiliser selon ses conditions.
http://www.alaide.com/dico.php?ix=6531&q=Creative+Commons

Source code: The source code consists of the programming statements that are created by a programmer with a text editor or a visual programming tool and then saved in a file. The object code file contains a sequence of instructions that the processor can understand but that is difficult for a human to read or modify. For this reason and because even debugged programs often need some later enhancement, the source code is the most permanent form of the program.
http://searchsoa.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci213030,00.html

Code source : Le code source est la représentation dans un langage humainement compréhensible du fonctionnement d'une œuvre. Le langage est choisi initialement par l'auteur. Ce langage peut-être également standardisé, normalisé ou tout au moins reconnu et utilisé de la même manière par un ensemble de personnes. Le code source peut être complété de commentaires et de documentation en langage naturel. Le but du code source est d'être utilisé par un dispositif de transformation en langage compréhensible (processeur, compilateur, interpréteur) par une machine numérique (un ordinateur) qui donnera le code machine. L'utilisation de ce code sur la machine donnera l'œuvre.

Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).

The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).

The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Les logiciels libres donnent aux utilisateurs la liberté d'exécuter, de copier, de distribuer, d'étudier, de modifier et d'améliorer les logiciels. Plus précisément, cela se réfère à quatre types de liberté pour les utilisateurs de logiciels :

La liberté d'exécuter le programme, pour n'importe quel usage (liberté 0).

La liberté d'étudier le fonctionnement du programme et de l'adapter à vos besoins (liberté 1). Accéder au code source est une condition pour cela.

La liberté de redistribuer des copies pour aider votre prochain (liberté 2).

La liberté d'améliorer le programme et de rendre publiques vos améliorations pour que toute la communauté en bénéficie (liberté 3). Accéder au code source est une condition pour cela.

Copyleft: Term used for the copyright agreement and license statement created by Richard Stallman for software developed under the GNU project. Recipients of software under this license are entitled to receive and use the source code of the software to which the license applies. In addition, recipients are permitted to redistribute the licensed software and to make derivative works provided that the source code of the derivative is also made available under similar conditions. The current version of "copyleft" is the GNU Public License.
http://dmware.info/open-source/glossary.htm

Copyleft: Désigne un type de copyright ouvert qui autorise chacun à utiliser ou transformer un élément à condition que les transformations soient libres également. Ce type de copyright tend à se généraliser à toutes les conceptions.

Content Management System: A content management system (CMS) is a system used to manage the content of a Web site. Content management systems are deployed primarily for interactive use by a potentially large number of contributors. For example, the software for the website Wikipedia is based on a wiki, which is a particular type of content management system. For the purposes of this page, Content Management means Web Content Management. Other related forms of content management are listed below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system

Content Management System: (gestion de contenu. Système intégré et multiplate-forme permettant aux entreprises et aux organisations de gérer rapidement et facilement le contenu dynamique et rédactionnel d'un site Web. Ainsi la gestion de contenu au sens large recouvre l'ensemble des phases régissant le cycle de vie des documents disponibles sur le système d'information : de leur création et leur validation jusqu'à la gestion des règles de publication.
