Summary

The history of free software is an arc that connects a jammed printer at MIT in 1980 with the ERP you are going to learn to use in this course. Richard Stallman turned his frustration at closed code into a global movement that defined the four fundamental freedoms of software. Linus Torvalds, with a humble message on an internet forum, contributed the missing piece and proved that thousands of strangers could build together something better than any corporation. Today, free software is not the cheap alternative: it is the standard on which 96% of the world's servers run, the phones we carry in our pockets and the infrastructure of the largest companies on the planet. And thanks to Fabien Pinckaers, to the OCA and to more than 1,500 contributors, that same model of freedom and collaboration is available to manage your company with Odoo.
