Free software is free, users can change code, and source code is available to anyone.

If a relation has more than one candidate key the one chosen to represent the relation is called the:

The attributes further define the property. Some relationships between the entities can share more than one attribute and others share only one. The relationship diagram 1.1 will illustrate how the entities and attributes are linked together. Below is a list of the attributes for each of the entities in the database:

Entity Relationship diagram (ERD): This graphically depicts the tables and relationships in a relational database.

Note also that the *:* relationship has been broken down into two 1:* relationships for which the BENEFIT table serves as the composite or bridge entity.

These perspective are interdependent, they collaborate to form an efficient system that can track flaws in the companies to improve and hence provides a clearer target for companies. The companies view the perspective from customers objectively, by doing so they can understand what customers want or do not want.

* an arrow from entity set to relationship set indicates a key constraint, i.e. infectivity: each entity of the entity set can participate in at most one relationship in the relationship set;

Presently, software can be protected using both copyright and patents. The issue of software patentability is particularly contentious. On one side there are the large, mainly U.S. based corporations, such as IBM, Microsoft and Apple, who dominate the software market and have traditionally been are advocates for strong intellectual property protection for software. On the other side there is the open-source/free software movement who believe software should not be

Since you are free to change, tweak and use the open source software as you please, it gives a lot of flexibility to small businesses. You don’t need to worry about the vendor changing terms of use or adding new elements to the software that you don’t want to use.

Your business is free to use the product and due to the near-zero initial set-up cost, you are flexible to change to another software if you want

Another very popular license is the MIT license. This is a very simple license that in essence states that you can do whatever you want with this code. You may include MIT licensed code into a commercial project as well.

In any case “free” does not imply a non-commercial software, but only a software on which you have several freedoms on how to deal with it. [43 *]

Free and open-source software also known as FOSS is a software developed by an informal collaborative network of a programmer. The source code is licensed free of charge. It refers to limited restriction on user as well as no cost at all. The rising popularity of FOSS has been gaining on widely market because of its no restriction on user that can anyone see, inspect and modify and enhance.
