n the beginning, a difference between hardware and software did not exist. The user and programmer of a computer were one and the same. When the first commercial electronic computer was introduced by IBM in 19!, the machine was hard to maintain and expensi"e. #utting the price of the machine aside, it was the software that caused the problem when owning one of these computers. Then in 19!, a collaboration of all the owners of the computer got together and created a set of tools. The collaboration of people were in a group called #$%T &The#ro'ect for the $d"ancement of %oding techni(ues). $fter passing this hurdle, in 19*, the +isenhower administration decided to put restrictions on the types of sales $T,T could ma-e. This did not stop the in"entors from de"eloping new ideas of how to bring the computer to the mass population. The next step was ma-ing the computer more affordable which slowly de"eloped through different companies. Then they had to de"elop software that would host multiple users. MIT computation center de"eloped one of the first systems, %T.. &%ompatible Time/.haring .ystem). This laid the foundation for many more systems, and what we now call the 0pen .ource Mo"ement.1112The 0pen .ource Mo"ement is branched from the free software mo"ement which began in the late 34s with the launching of the 56789inux pro'ect by :ichard .tallman.12 .tallman is regarded within the open source community as sharing a -ey role in the conceptuali;ation of freely shared source code for software de"elopment.12 The term
