I think most Kenyans are firmly in the camp of free, though I believe a  notable exception is a Kenyan who I believe worked on the installer for FreeBSD somewhere on this list.<br><br>This link <a href="http://www.betanews.com/article/Red-Hat-France-is-the-most-active-open-source-country-Moldova-the-least/1240592277">http://www.betanews.com/article/Red-Hat-France-is-the-most-active-open-source-country-Moldova-the-least/1240592277</a> speaks volumes.<br>
<br>Most of us (self included)  will have no problem making use of OSS, but releasing it is another story altogether. Given that there are so many developers here, is there <b>anyone </b>here who releases their software under an OSS license?<br>

<div>Monday morning buzz. From a programming point of view, does Open source mean freeware?  As an example, I googled ubuntu to see if any kenyan is developing apps or &quot; ports &quot; for this and have been unable to get any info. How many times has this list been queried about a simple PPP dailer function for eg Ubuntu, yet I&#39;ve not read anywhere if someone has written and &quot; ported &quot; a script or a &quot; kenyan PPP dialer using local avaliable modems technology &quot; ?</div>

<div>I understand the typical scenario of php and mysql which really is an end use but what about improving the OS functionality itself? </div>
