OWNER SOFTWARE AND FREE SOFTWARE, STATISTICS AND BEHAVIOR IN THE WORLD

Summary

This report analyzes the evolution of free software with respect to proprietary software in recent years, responding to certain unknowns as which is the most used today, the benefits they have with respect to their opposite, among others. All this analysis will be carried out with a global analysis, emphasizing the Ecuador country, showing all this data regarding it. Certain examples will be taken that allow us to observe how their behavior has changed over time. Concluding in an answer to the big question, who dominates the market between these two great competitors?

Introduction

What is free software?

According to (Stallman, 2004) points out that "the" free software "is a matter of freedom, not price. To understand this concept, we must think about the meaning of free as "freedom of expression" and not as in "Breast of Beer". With free software we refer to user freedom to execute, copy, distribute, study, change and improve software ”(P. Four. Five).

What is the proprietary software?

According to (Sánchez, 2003) indicates that "the" proprietary software "is the one that is fully established and is supported by the traditional computer programs industry. Being closed code and above all it has a price that must be paid for the maintenance of this ”(P.145)

Developing

What is the trend between these two types of software?

Erroneous concepts are often. According to (Kulkarni, 2018) points out “Give."

If we start reviewing the different statistics and achievements that each of these softwares have traveled, we can understand which of the two is booming and why. When analyzing financial data in recent years we observe that according to (Kulkarni, 2018) “2018 has been the greatest year for free software of those that are yet to come”. In that period of time certain events occurred that indicate that free software has finally matured and is ready to compete against proprietary software. Some of the events that occurred were:

•  Pivotal Software got the highest initial public offer on the market for a free software company (then), resulting in a net market capitalization income of $ 4.7 billion.
• In May of that same year, the Salesforce company acquires Mulasesoft for $ 6.5 billion, the largest acquisition never seen by a free software company.
• In June, Microsoft announces the purchase of github for $ 7.5 billion, the central repository and cradle of many free software startup projects.
• The price of Mongodb, an open source database duplicates its market capitalization income by more than $ 3.5 billion
• Redhat, is the first company to build a successful business using only free software sources in its main processes.

 Why is free software flowing today?

According to (Matteson, 2018) it is mainly for four base reasons:

1. Cost: Saving money allows organizations to invest money in other items such as high -speed networks or faster storage devices, in addition to offering more significant salaries to their programmers to work with or in quality free software.
2. Flexibility: The flexibility of customizing and improving the source code also entails significant profits, as well as being able to participate in active software communities that follow the same objectives.
3. No requirements: having to avoid headaches with license or activation requirements is worth it. In this way it is avoided to violate private property that could lead to potential demands for the use of owner of others.
4. Libertad: Owner softwares can be potentially confused and entangled in addition to putting a company in a dependency position on a seller for which they will always be loaded with components or characteristics that do not need or want, additional to this in caseThe private software seller withdraws from the business can negatively impact the organization that used its software, instead the free software will remain active while there is a community of developers after it.

Now, leaving aside the free software, we proceed to analyze its counterpart that is the proprietary software.

It is one that, through monopolization of companies that object. In most cases the guarantee of the software of this typology is denounced lack of guarantees and lack of support by the companies (Smoldone, 2002).

The great rise that he hosts is because, throughout the years of the years in the educational field, the adaptation to various proprietary softwares were mostly taught, which generated, this great reception. The most significant case is that of Microsoft, he has been and has been maintained as one of the companies that provides two of the most used softwares in educational units worldwide, the S.EITHER. Windows, and the Microsoft Office software line (Monserrat Culebro, 2006).

But why most people choose to choose proprietary software?

Because it offers benefits around the workplace, as explained (Oscar Arriola, 2011).

1. They have licenses, which are limited exclusively to users who paid for the software, which are divided between the software licenses in general and the posterior packages that will come in updates or patches. The licenses offered by these provide you with the ability to be monthly or annual that is the most watched.
2. Management establishment, when certain software assurances are privatized, it gives you the freedom to work in a single way without the other entities in an organization demolishing your prototype. In the same way to work at their own rhythm projects without finding out.
3. More applications, around what proprietary software offers, is in most cases, provide applications that serve as adaptive tools to the user, as well as improve the quality of software management. In most cases, companies provide advertising to licensed softwares contained in the same companies, with the idea that it improves the performance of the base software.

In Ecuador, how is this behavior visualized?

It is publicly known that Ecuador has serious problems in continuous monitoring of new technologies in the world. In the country there are still outdated development practices, which in the medium or long place end up decreasing or stopping the technological progress of the same. Even with all these limitations, the first signs of the appearance of free software in the market and Ecuadorian studies centers begin to be observed. According to the writing made by (Eltiempo.EC, 2016) It is presented that “Executive Decree 1014 of April 10, 2008 introduced the Ecuadorian State in the era of free software use. Years later, this provision is also incorporated into the Organic Code of the Social Economy of Knowledge, Creativity and Innovation (Ingenios), approved by the National Assembly on October 11 ”despite these provisions, a slow adaptation is still observedcompared to other countries in the world with respect to free software. However, this leads us to present the following cases or events in which little by little we begin to take advantage of all the benefits of this, in addition to making a greater number of people known:

As detailed in (Liberaturadio, 2017) the first crucial antecedent for this process was the visit of the most representative person of free software worldwide, the famous, Richard Stallman. Visit for the first time Ecuador in December 2006. He was present at multiple events in education institutes, such as the Santiago de Guayaquil Catholic University, Espol, Polytechnic School of the Army, among others.

As is listed by (proactinfo, 2017) some of the most representative projects of the use of free software in Ecuador are:

1.  Public Purchase Portal: The objective of the National Public Purchase and Consulting System of Ecuador is to publish, expedite, optimize, and transparent public procure processes, for which the Internet portal is a free -use tool thatfacilitates the meeting of supply and demand between the public sector and the providers of the State.
2. Quipux: It is a document management system whose objective is to improve the times and processes of shipping, reception and archiving of both internal correspondence, and that occurs between state institutions and from citizens to public entities.
3. SIITH: General Siith software architecture comprises Linux operating system, JBOSS Application Server, Postgre database and Java programming language. The initials siith refer to Integrated Human Talent Information System.

The private sector also has interesting free software projects, among them Elastix stands out, this is a free of unified communications server distribution that integrates into a single VOIP PBX, fax package, instant messaging, email and collaboration.

conclusion

After having analyzed both types of software, who is the clear winner?

If we review the analyzed data we can conclude that the market trend has a winner, however, unlike past times it is no longer an absolute winner, of course we talk about private or owner software. This one here to achieve its mission of standing and popularly takes advantage of several aspects such as its direct inclusion in some of the most popular systems without prior voluntary acquisition of the client. Examples of this we find Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, etc. which are directly included in Windows’s own installation. However, free software over time has been able to demonstrate its virtues, in addition to being more recognized by both the common user and the big companies. By generating this interest of being something relatively novel, its coupling to new technologies and companies is being greater in addition to its clear advantages such as the voluntary choice of what I need and its flexibility when developing in a production environment. Only time can define whether free software manages to defeat private software, although there is the great paradox of large private multinationals joining free software developments. Expanding more this topic, that only over the years can denote a great winner.
