Ilk defa 1980'li yillarda (usta) Richard Stallman tarafindan bir manifesto
hazirlaniyor. Manifestonun yaninda bir de lisans sozlesmesi duzenleniyor.
Bu sozlesme kisaca yazilimi ureten kisiye yazilimin her hakkini veriyor,
ancak kaynak koduyla dagitmasi ve GPL'i (GNU Public Licence) gorunur bir
yere yerlestirmesi kaydiyla.

Bu sayede program serbest dolasima giriyor. Ureticinin isim hakkini
korudugunuz surece uzerinde istediginiz degisikligi yapabiliyor, parayla
ya da parasiz satabiliyorsunuz.

Bu sayede gelistirmek istediginiz yazilimi bir sekilde 'acik artirmaya'
sunmus oluyorsunuz. Pastaheneye gidip bir pastanin tarifini almaniz mumkun
degil, ama yazilim piyasasinda daha mukemmeli ve birlikte proje uretmeyi
dusunenler icin bu yontem bicilmis kaftan.

Ozellikle okullarimiza bilgisayarin yogun olarak girmeye baslayacagi
1998 Eylul'unden itibaren ulkemizde sanal projelerde bir patlama
yasayacagimiz asikar. Boyle bir 'sanal proje arastirmalari' bolumunun
information technologies ya da benzeri bir fakulte altinda
kurulmasini beklerim.

Turkuaz Linux'un gelisimini yapanlarin pek cogu birbirlerinin yuzunu
daha once ya hic gormemis, ya da konferanslarda gormus kisiler. Buna
ragmen internet uzerinde mesafe kavrami yokoluyor, yogun bir gudulenme
icinde 'acik gelistirme' yapilabiliyor.

Bilgi herkesindir, evrenseldir, sinirlanamaz. Bunun icin Linux ve
GNU ornek bir modeldir ve bir atlama tahtasi olarak kullanilabilir.

Ucretsiz yazilimin onu gayet aciktir, onu destekleyelim.

Iyi calismalar,
Gorkem
