The source of open source can not be attributed to one person or group. It stems from a mindset prevalent in academic settings. Before the Internet and widespread computer usage, programmers traded and shared code for the greater good of the code itself. This type of sharing went on for years until Netscape made the decision to open source their popular browser, Navigator. Netscape strategically planned this move at the same time that they made Navigator free (Release 1.0). In the next few months, the solid base of open source was forged. Eric Raymond, Bruce Perens, and others started what grew into the Open-Source Initiative (Open Source Initiative).
