- Open-source software powers nearly all the world’s major companies. This software is freely available, and is developed collaboratively, maintained by a broad network that includes everyone from unpaid volunteers to employees at competing tech companies. Here’s how giving away software for free has proven to be a viable business model.

The Rise Of Open-Source Software
3DsMax: 3000$/year
Maya : 2145$ /year
Blender:Free.
Yet 3Ds Max don't have MacOS port :D
Blender is amazing. It‘s free, it‘s powerful and it‘s lightweight. You can run it on nearly every pc and on every OS.
as an architect and a vfx artist we ditched every other software and replaced it with blender its user friendly and powerful and community is just hearth worming.
yup...our studio is switching to blender soon.....excited about it
Blender is awesome 😃
Open source is the reason why we have so many startups spawning and releasing their products so quickly. and one of the main reason an undergraduate fresher nowadays start contributing within few days with minimal training.
tech support
very true, if software was proprietary, then the barriers to entry would be too high for the regular person (only corporations could innovate, and they don't innovate, they build walls to solidify their position). The world needs fresh ideas, we need the innovators to provide solutions to our many problems, the ones that the corporations and governments don't want to bother with, and open source software is a key enabler in this struggle
It's also why many programmers use Ctrl c Ctrl v so much
It's quite inaccurate to suggest that github standardized the way people collaborate on code projects. This credit goes to Linus Torvalds who invented git
Linus didn't invent git, he wrote it. Other collaborative development system models already existed at the time. Linus simply wrote another. Because the one he liked (Bitkeeper) others screwed up Linux using it. They tried cracking the networking protocol it used. which the developer didn't appreciate. So he revoked Linux's use of his code. Which left Linus in a bit of a spot.
SourceForge was first, git is just another version control system
Without the tools that companies like Github and Google built around git, git would have died. Most developers simply cannot be bothered with arcane commands in a terminal. So yes, Github was probably the major force behind git's adoption.
@@SnoopyDoofie developers who simply cannot be bothered with arcane commands in a terminal really are in the wrong line of work. They can't be too good at their jobs either.

Open-source helps move tech forward quicker.
@Everything everyone can help prevent penetration as well. White hat hackers exist to beef up infrastructure.
Everything You can still have protections set up with open source...
@Everything Absolutely false, Security through obscurity is no security at all
@Everything I agree with Rezalion , That which was exploited by hackers get recognized and get paid to become white hats to beef up security. Turning what was once bad into good for others. It's a good article subject to look into. That which was bad, pushes for new learning for those that do which is good and it becomes a war of balance and learning progress for new technologies. Kindal ike AMD vs Nvidia have to up each other on new innovations to keep the market flow good for consumers.
@Everything Take Bitcoin as an example. It's open source software but nobody has been able to penetrate it.
i'd say 3/4 of the software i use as a data scientist is open source. couldn't imagine why anyone would pay for something like SAS when there's R and Python.
Yeah. God bless you and everyone supporting open sources
What are some open source software which I could try. I am a beginner in this.
R is on its way out, never got to use it, only Python for data science and ML stuff.
I do 98% open source. I've been in the biz for over 40 years, before most of you were in short pants.
Exactly 💯... we wouldn't be chatting on this platform without open source period!
Sometimes I feel bad. Because I'm aging. Being 43 is not fun. Not as fun as being 22. But, it is a much better world than when I was born. It's so amazing how many things changed in my life time. The internet was created. And opensource, which, in my opinion is one of the greatest thing humanity ever done.

It's definitely still not over, I think the word isn't scared, it's wary.
still scared today, who knows what micro$oft is going to do with github, anyway I moved all my projects from GitHub to a locally hosted server
I don't like it either...
A lot of big projects moved over to GitLab because of this.
I think we are safe
I started using Linux and open source software 20 years ago, I am really pleased to see how things have evolved!
My printer has no open source, I'll open my company.
It most likely runs Linux as well - just as most comparable devices nowadays do.
Ask its vendor for GPL compliant sources if they're not published on their website.
yeah its actually open software. You have to open up your pc first and remove the RAM stick in order for it to work openly. The RAM is what keeps it closed.
Hahahaha

Also Everyone: nope, it's just as free as the air we breathe
Software development companies aren’t really effected by open source projects in a negative way. It still takes a software developer to understand & implement open sourced code. Also it takes one to customize it specifically to a clients needs. It actually helps software development companies more than anything.
Software development company are heavily relying on open source software and also release open source code. And it has been the case for a while.

Honestly, printers are still a big problem, especially ink jet ones and their "software updates".
It should be titled "What Frustration can do"
That is actually how the GNU project started and kudos to CNBC for including it. That way it's at least indirectly hinted at that everything was open source before Microsoft came along and "The Rise Of Open-Source Software" is actually a resurgence. I don't even mind them conflating Open Source and FOSS, it is meant for non-developers after all, though rms is probably unhappy.
Sounds like the plot the sequel to office space.
Open-Source software developers and programmers are the backbone of today's humanity and humanitarian technology.
Open Source will destroy CS jobs.
@Martin Shepherd They will remain unsung under open source.

NOPE companies will always need custom software that is private
Open Source is great! Without Open Source, humankind would have 1000's of software code that does the same exact thing that takes years to build.
that why you had a lot progrm runing on x86.. ARM or x64
The big problem in programming is the learning curve when you are just getting started. Getting a compiler uses to cost like 1599 or some ungodly amount but they would not sell less than 10 license copy to a kid. All I wanted is a single license. The student version was always limited because you don't need all that function. How to access MS Access using C++ at the time. I made the correct line of code and the student compiler said, "Why do you need to connect to a database?" I'm like trying to f-ing learn here and MS stopped my progress. MS owes me my childhood back.
Today, I can get open source, learn, and if I can make a business or get sponsorship, I can do that. I am happy that everything is open-source now. It allows me the freedom to be creative. I only wish is that I can go back to 1990's and be developing at an early age.
Open-source software ≠ Free software
Also: ...
Github ≠ Git
Gratis or Libre?
yeah but...
Github ∈ Git
...
what a dramatic pause!
It kinda does. If I get access to something's software open source I can reverse engineer pretty much whatever I want at no cost to me.
@@GarlicGrinder9 one can be given a software for free (no money) and have no access to the code (closed source).
Reverse enginneer of closed source is not easy, it's costly and clumbersome. (Try wine with an application bellow bronze rating to verify yourself)
On the other hand. There are apllicatios which allows access to the code under protection of a licence. In some cases one can look at the code but is not allowed to use commercially because of the copyrights. (Is it open source? Not in the way we want! In this case open!= free)
GNU is the real reason for the rise of opensource software. RMS deserves recognition.
Richard Stallman =RMS 🐐
Lenny McLennington I have seen his explanations on the ‘free’ in free software. I will nevertheless watch this video. Thanks.
Open source is a corporate term at this point

Well In my opinion open sourcing of any technology is not only increases it's user base but also increases the chance of further innovation which ultimately helps the global society.
Open Source will destroy CS jobs.
@@gavin9715 Not at all. Open source will give opportunity for further innovation and use of that technology to create many other jobs
For eg Android is open source. People r learning Android to make their own and app and making dollars with those app
@@gavin9715 Many developers are paid specifically to contribute to open source projects. AMD and Intel make open-source graphics drivers for Linux, as well as to develop the kernel and user environments as required. This allows other developers and testers to inspect the code and fix things of necessary.
Although not every open source project will accept outside contributions. Sometimes it's only for the sake of transparency. Also, you can disallow forking by licensing it appropriately (not sure).

"The rise of" it has always been there the problem is that there was a huge drive to privatise it.
Right? I honestly think the future could be in a sort of democratic ownership of software in some countries. Only the power of an informed collective can safeguard against the unscrupulous in a meaningful way.
Intellectual prorperty isn't real, and is a government creation. So whrm Microsoft was calling it unamerican, they were trying to get the gov to regulate it. If anyone has common sense or knows anything about economics, they'd understand regulating this would destroy the service
Open source works fine now, why do u want to nationalize it?
@@Th3Raid0r completely agree, the same thing should be done to research papers. It is ridiculous that a scientist has to pay for access to cutting edge research, it only slows scientific progress.
Bittzen I agree with that, but the question that comes to my mind is wether not regulating intellectual property would actually take the incentive to produce a better quality software or service.
Maybe we’ll end up with something like Spotify that runs on advertisements in order to prevent this problem. Instead of music, its the software

What I'm taking away from this video is that companies are open sourcing their code so they rely heavily on volunteers to write that software and pocket those earnings.
In a way yeah, but everyone can also fork an open source project and build their own thing. So in theory anyone could profit off the labour of volunteers.
Open source will destroy CS jobs.
@@gavin9715 Hardly. There are still some tweaks that a company needs, and if you have something business critical, support is good, in house expertise is better.
@@dm2060 The money is still in the commercial sector. So your fork can never compete with the polished software build on opensource.

"Affirming the company's commitment to open source", yeah right!
What a great video. Thank you very much for covering this topic. It deserves much more attention and you've just given it some. Good job.
One key point missed in this video, was that Torvalds was developing Linux (a kernel without a tool-set) around the same time that Stallman was developing GNU (a tool-set without a kernel). Independently neither project was particularly interesting. What made Open Source EXPLODE, was the realisation that both projects fit hand-in-glove together. People began to create "Distributions" of Linux and GNU as a single unit (GNU/Linux) - Distributions like Red Hat, Suse, Slackware, and others is what really made the Open Source movement take off. None of it would have happened without all three factors meeting at the same time to create the Perfect Storm. Another key point to note: GitHub was built around Git, another of Torvalds' projects, that he wrote to manage the development of the Linux kernel. (Ive used Linux since 1993, First kernel 0.99.6)
As a newcomer Software Engineering student I appreciate open source projects a lot. They are a great way to learn new things about a coding language or how some feature could be done. They help a lot with checking out logic and self-improvement.
Hey I’m a software engineering student rn , can you help with how I get started in coding
Before Github there was Sourceforge (before the latter became a joke), and treating Github as if its wholly novel is a bit revisionist.
Sourceforge was where it was at before it became loaded with ads and malware. 😂
They did seem to give GitHub a lot of undeserved credit. My answer to that is another question:... Who created Git? :)
The workflow in GitHub is completely different from Sourceforge and leverages a ton of the built in Git functionality. If anything, Sourceforge is based around the CVS way of thinking which is hilariously outdated.
@@BlownMacTruck that might be because SF was started in 1999 (using SVN and CVS) before GIT was even around (2004-5). By that point, SF's parent company was a shell of its former self, and the project was far from its original mission.
Joseph Arruda Are you stupid? That was my entire point. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
One significant benefit of open source software is that we've avoided the situation where several companies each build the same or similar products, each with different requirements and features. Instead, a product is developed by many authors. We build on what is already there, instead of each company having to reinvent the wheel. We all benefit.

I remember 'shareware'. It meant that developers would submit free software upgrades and wait for the generous largesse of users to repay them over time. Well, I met the man who invented the Visicalc cell lines. He put it out as 'shareware' and waited for the money to flow in. I met him at his job, as a clerk at Radio Shack. Shareware, in his case, earned him $33 for that effort...
I've never thought a video of CNBC would be that good, well done.
Thank you to all the people who dedicate their lives so that our experiences can be better.
You should also cover rise of open source (ISAs) (RISC-V) (Which enable open source hardware). Soon cpus will be cheaper, because of more competition and no AMD and Intel duopoly. X86 ISA is licence to print money. ISAs want to be free!

I remember when I was at DeVry Institute back in 1997 - 1999, I learned C++ and Visual Basics. I haven't kept up with any programming languages ever since due to being in the service. They had no programming positions unfortunately so basically I became rusty. Now almost 20 years later there are all these new languages out and I am having a hard time keeping up.

I was in college when the RISE was happening... was part of few projects & ran FOSS activities in parts of my country.
You missed a whole decade where the biggest proprietary software house Microsoft - fought, ridiculed, tried to shut down the whole Open Source movement,
and finally now accepts & SELLS open source software as service on their cloud. A whole decade where Chrome browser & Android started from 0 and took over the market.
And today, in your video you say "companies like Microsoft contribute heavily to open source" ... What LOL.

Well, it's still on the rise so at least they got that right. :-)
Microsoft might seam like an open source leader, but they repeatedly refuse to open source the important stuff. For example, instead of their primary IDE Visual Studio, they made open source a Visual Studio Code, not an IDE just a editor.
:c
I believe Visual Studio IDE has some interrelated Windows code. Moreover, It's their default IDE for Windows. Why would they open-source it anyway?
I think this video is a great presentation of open-source software to the general audience. I'm just a regular guy, not a computer person, but I have used Linux on my PC from the year 2002. First Red Hat, then Debian for a while, and from 2004 to 2018 Ubuntu. No I have settled on Linux Mint. Of course I use a lot of other open-source and free (libre) software too, like Firefox, Gimp, Quod Libet etc.. It has been interesting and fun to follow the spread and rise of open-source software from the modest early times to dominance in many areas. I believe that the spirit of open-source development has had a positive influence on many other areas of life. On the other hand, perhaps the open-source development model itself has also been inspired by some very different areas of life.

Love this channel!
richard stallman would be furious watching this piece, it practically shows how much of a paradise the world has become but the reality is, big corps have made open source theirs so everyone can contribute to their projects but no one can make essential independent software that actually works on a modern hardware. you cant make a new OS and install it on your laptop or phone because of drivers, you cant stay anonymous because almost every single important service that you use is some sort of subscription. What Richard Stallman visioned was not just to have access to code, he also wanted it to be free to use elsewhere, anonymous, changeable and deployable however ppl wanted, etc.
The advantages of OSS are pretty clear, when done right: on proprietary software, you have access to the combined expertise of your team. In OSS, you have access to the combined expertise of everyone you can get interested enough to contribute to the thing that you’re making.
The trick is getting smart people interested, and having a core team robust enough to act as quality control and have the ability to make patches when issues are found.

I see alot of instructions, to just run one on the regular port (3306) and the other on another port (3307, 3308, whatever)
Point being....
Is it ok to run these 2 stacks together?
Do people run express MERN
Along with apache XAMPP at the same time?
Is it normal?
Is it ok ?
Best practices?
Alot of ajax tutorials have people installing both of these, but that is for the tutorial and concepts sake.
Is it ok to run both of these in the real world ?
Assuming I'm going to run apps on prod on both.
Don't forget Blender.
I dissagree. If you want to try GNU/Linux, do NOT start with raspberry Pi. It is not even powerful enought to run Android propertly, let alone full OS with multi tab webrowsing. It will give bad first impression. If you want to try, try Kubuntu on main PC without installing it (Live ISO).
Microsoft is an open source leader I cannot trust
It is not, it is a for profit org, masking itself to make profit.
Well luckily that's the point of open source. To make their software more trustworthy. It's almost like you're missing the point.🤔
Jep, they're just going open source a bit to not lose people. Everyone thinks that it's awesome that they open source all their stuff, but noone knows that the main things are still really proprietary. Like Windows...
Azure forced them to embrace it haha
embrace extend extinguish
Open-source is an idea SO POWERFUL it's right up there with the scientific method. The biggest multi-disciplinary paradigm of this era.
This is awesome content to be on a mainstream news organization
@CNBC - Confused as to why you interviewed the Director of Engineering but not the Director of OPEN SOURCE at Google. They literally have an entire department dedicated to this topic
availability issue probably.
@@neoncity1557 I would put money on that he wasn't even asked or had any idea this video was being made
well there are multiple Director of Engineering people for one department.
"Today in a modern luxury automobile "
Proceeds to show a Kia..
Gemcitysoles 937 lol thought the same thing 😂
Kia is considered luxury in Africa and India lol
the kia k900 is a luxury car
2018 stinger v6 turbo very nice and suvs are good now
I remember seeing 'share ware' etc in malls......Microcrude took care of that...but it lives on to fill a gap they never did.....respect
This really warms my heart.
Open-source went from free sharing to big companies using thousands of programmers to fix their a applications for free.
Big tech loves free labor.
So I see you're running Gnome. You know I'm actually on KDE myself.
KDE PLASMA FTW
I run both GNOME and Plasma.
@@mechanikate kde is so big and fatty and bloated
@@diegomarquez3293 you probably use gnome ya hypocrite
It's nice to see some mainstream coverage of open-source.
These CNBC documentaries are actually startlingly informative and accurate (correct me I'm wrong), from such a mainstream news site, these are very good videos for the mainstream to know
Bitcoin, Monero and Steem. These projects are decentralized, open source and highly disruptive software projects.
Steem is awesome i make about 10 dollars in Bitcoin per day using it just posting content and crypto news
Steem is not decentralized.
yes, cryptocurrency/blockchain is amazing, and most of these technologies are built using Open Source !
Linux anybody?
Mint 19.1 Tessa
I run it on everything. Looking forward to being able to run Linux or BSD on my Pinephone!
Kubuntu 19.10 here
Debian 9 noob with a newfound hatred for Microsoft and the disaster they call Windows 10
Ubuntu 19.10
So happy when I heard this young man say I'll never make money on what I do but I think I've done a lot of good in the world.
As my time on Earth is soon coming to an end I look back and try to judge whether the good part of me has won in a struggle or the bad part.
I do urge people to weigh themselves on the good/bad scale and seek like this man to leave behind a better world when its time to go.
Very Goog Video CNBC, Very goog, Grettings from Nicaragua.
We would be doomed if oss didn’t exist
2018 Github is bought by Microsoft
2019 MS: We love open source. You should too!
2024 MS: We're going to put a few restrictions.
2025 There are no other competitors. The End.
I agree this is a very valid concern
this is exactly what is happening, and that's very sad :'-( Micro$oft is cancer !
you dont really understand, oos is different from regular monopolies. developers can switch easily if they dont like it
Actually, I expect that Microsoft will either open-source its OS, or change its NT underbelly to Linux anyway, if it doesn't want to become irrelevant. The danger to open source software could very well loom on the horizon when China takes over the bulk of software development. And no, this isn't your usual anti-China rhetoric of the day: I'm thinking of Huawei's very real attempts to introduce stuff like this as part of the Internet protocols: www.engadget.com/2020-03-30-china-huawei-new-ip-proposal.html More of this, and we may soon face closed-source software blobs as in the bad old days... but this time not from Microsoft and its NDA-partners, but from the IT hardware manufacturers, which would be, of course, from China.
3:50 "The platform itself changes nine times an hour. 10,000 lines of code are added to Linux every day. About 5,000 lines are changed and about 8,000 lines are removed. It's by far the highest velocity, most effective software development process in the history of computing." My Linux pride is glowing right now!
I feel really lucky that we are living in the time of Open Source software. I suppose Open Source also existed in the past but now it's more mainstream. I would like to thank to all the open sources contributors from deep down in my heart. I would also like to financially contribute to open source and have therefore set this as one of my lifetime goal. Go open source!!
How does this community feel about open-source cash protocols such as bitcoin?
Microsoft, a leader in open source... LOL
I was thinking the same go ask them for the source code for Windows 10 or the Xbox firmware and see what happens.
MS open source for their .NET Core, C#, Typescript, etc.
@@afiqfikridaud9417 Because they had to. Software developers highly value whether a programming language is open source or not. Microsoft needed to open the source of their development tools so they can grow in popularity.
However, ask the average Windows 10 user if having an open source operating system is important to them. 95% of users will say no. They don't need this, they don't want this. And this is why Microsoft won't open the source of the XBox firmware, office or windows. They know exactly that they are doing. Most people just dont care.
@@jonathanzopf6444 MS was pressured by Open Source developer. Who wants to pay for open air.
really funny
To all the Open Source Software Developers, Thank you so much.
Nice introduction, with a decent nod to paying the maintainers.
