開源

Open Source Initiative

What Linux, Ubuntu and MATE Desktop all have in common is they are Open Source. This software can be freely used, changed, and shared (in modified or unmodified form) by anyone. In a nutshell Ubuntu MATE is free, in the truest sense of the word.

Although you will find some distributions (variations) of Linux for purchase, the vast majority are provided free of charge, like Ubuntu MATE. The distribution is licensed in a way that allows anyone to give it away for free, with no strings attached. For example, the licence gives any member of the user community the freedom to use Linux for any purpose, to distribute, modify, redistribute, or even sell the operating system. If you do modify and then redistribute Linux with your modifications, you are required by the licence to submit your modifications for possible inclusion into future versions. There is no guarantee that this will ever happen, but if you have made it better, then your changes just might be included in the next release of Ubuntu MATE.

許多公司是Linux的使用者並且使用它來經營他們的生意,或者將Linux包含在他們的產品裡。當這些公司使用這些軟體時,同時也提供新功能和修補程式給Linux 提供給Linux社群和Ubuntu MATE改進的結果。這就是我們如何持續的進步並且成長而毋需向使用者收費

不像Windows和OS X,Linux不只由一家公司所支援及開發。它由Intel, Redhat, Linaro, Samsung, IBM, SUSE, Texas Instruments, Google, Canonical, Oracle, AMD以及Microsoft等公司所支援。這15年來超過4000位開發者共同維護著Linux。

Whether you are a home user of Ubuntu MATE, an Ubuntu MATE software or application developer, or an employee of an organization that uses the operating system, you are a member of the Linux and Open Source communities and benefit from the efforts of the developers who contribute to Ubuntu MATE and its related projects: Linux, MATE, and Ubuntu. Members of the community run Linux on almost any hardware, from the prettiest Macbook to the cheapest netbook, from the newest Chromebook to some very old machines designed for Windows, and from the most powerful Internet servers to the smallest smart thermostat.
