Book excerpt: Can open source software—software that is usually available without charge and that individuals are free to modify—survive against the fierce competition of proprietary software, such as Microsoft Windows? Should the government intervene on its behalf? This book addresses a host of issues raised by the rapid growth of open source software, including government subsidies for research and development, government procurement policy, and patent and copyright policy.

Smith (Microsoft Corporation), and Robert W. Hahn (director, AEI-Brookings Joint Center).
