Overview of FOSS
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a California public benefit corporation, with 501(c)3 tax-exempt status,
founded in 1998. Open source software is software that can be freely used, changed, and shared (in modified
or unmodified form) by anyone. Open source software is made by many people, and distributed under
licenses that comply with the Open Source Definition.
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a global non-profit that supports and promotes the
open source movement. Among other things, we maintain the Open Source Definition,
and a list of licenses that comply with that definition

The Open Source Definition

Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of opensource software must comply with the following criteria:

1. Free Redistribution
The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a
component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several
different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

2. Source Code
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as
well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code,
there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a
reasonable reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without charge. The
source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the
program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as
the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

Dept of CSE /IT

ICS-251

3. Derived Works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be
distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.

4. Integrity of the Author's Source Code

The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the
license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of
modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of
software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry
a different name or version number from the original software.

5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of
endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or
from being used for genetic research.

7. Distribution of License
The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed
without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties.

8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product

The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's being part of a
particular software distribution. If the program is extracted from that distribution and used
Dept of CSE /IT

ICS-251

or distributed within the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the program
is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with
the original software distribution.

9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software

The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the
licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs
distributed on the same medium must be open-source software.

10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral

No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of
interface.

Basic Commands in Linux

Command Syntax
Commands can be run by themselves, or you can pass in additional arguments to make them do
different things. Typical command syntax can look something like this:
command [-argument] [-argument] [--argument] [file]

Examples: ls List files in current directory

ls -l Lists files in long format

ls -l --color As above, with colourized output
cat filename Show contents of a file
cat -n filename Show contents of a file, with line numbers

Linux In depth By Yashwant Kanetkar

ICS-251

Learning Administrative Commands

The Linux System Administrator's Guide, describes the system administration aspects
of using Linux. It is intended for people who know next to nothing about system
administration, but who have already mastered at least the basics of normal usage.
This manual doesn't tell you how to install Linux; that is described in the Installation
and Getting Started document. See below for more information
about Linux manuals. System administration covers all the things that you have to do
to keep a computer system in usable order. It includes things like backing up files (and
restoring them if necessary), installing new programs, creating accounts for users
(and deleting them when no longer needed), making certain that the filesystem is not
corrupted, and so on. If a computer were, say, a house, system administration would
be called maintenance, and would include cleaning, fixing broken windows, and other
such things. The structure of this manual is such that many of the chapters should be
usable independently, so if you need information about backups, for example, you can
read just that chapter. However, this manual is first and foremost a tutorial and can be
read sequentially or as a whole.

Experiment No 2
Vi Editor & its Modes, Introduction of Basic administrative commands
OBJECTIVE

Learning the working of Vi Editor and switching between different three different modes.
Should be ready to run and configure administrative commands

Requirements
Tools / Apparatus: Unix/Linux/Windows Operating System, Bash Shell with root login privileges. i.e .
root user name and Password

Exercise:
1. What are the three modes in Vi Editor? How to switch from one mode to another
2. How to take back up of the required data from file system?
2. How to make a close look on Conf files using administrative commands?

Learning Shell Scripts

Dept of CSE /IT

ICS-251

A shell is an environment in which we can run our commands, programs, and shell scripts. There
are different flavors of shells, just as there are different flavors of
operating systems. Each flavor of shell has its own set of recognized commands and functions.
This book works with the Bourne, Bash, and Korn shells. Shells are located in either the /usr/bin/
directory or the /bin/ directory, depending on the UNIX flavor and specific version. The prompt,
$, which is called command prompt, is issued by the shell. While the prompt is displayed, you
can type a command. The shell reads your input after you press Enter. It determines the command
you want executed by looking at the first word of your input. A word is an unbroken set of
characters. Spaces and tabs separate words. Following is a simple example of date command
which displays current date and time:

Learning Database Connectivity between PHP and MySql

Open a Connection to the MySQL Server
Before we can access data in a database, we must open a connection to the MySQL
server.
In PHP, this is done with the mysqli_connect() function.

Syntax
mysqli_connect(host,username,password,dbname);
Parameter
host
username
password
dbname

Description
Optional. Either a host name or an IP address
Optional. The MySQL user name
Optional. The password to log in with
Optional. The default database to be used when performing queries
Note: There are more available parameters, but the ones listed above are
the most important.
