The open source movement swept the world like a hurricane,It originated in the free software movement in the field of software development.With the successful development of Linus Tovaz’s Linux,the open source development model has become an ideal model for major computer developers.A large number of technologies such as big data,artificial intelligence and blockchain based on open source projects exist in the human world as extension of the human body.What the open source movement upholds is an ethical spirit of freedom,openness and sharing,which condenses from the software field and extends to the human life space along the Internet,enabling people to transform the technology while the technology also affects the human beings themselves.In the 1970 s,the phenomenon of software closed-source began to appear in the field of computer,which motivated the emergence and development of the open source movement.In the intertwining of computers,the Internet,hacker ethics and the spirit of scientific exploration,the open source movement promotes continuous technological innovation,facilitate the continuous breakthrough and development of modern information and communication technologies,which has created different social forms of open source technology in this space.The replacement of the technological social form promotes the change of people’s way of living.The open source ethical spirit behind it plays a crucial role.There are many factors affecting the open source movement,but the open source license,as a treaty,regulates the software development order in the computer field,which mainly embodies the opensource ethical spirit.Amid,GNU license shows the ethical spirit of freedom,and BSD,MIT,Apache and other open source licenses demonstrate the ethical spirit of openness and sharing.The open source ethical spirit reconstructs the relationship between people and technology that based on technologies such as big data,artificial intelligence and the Internet of things,resulting the way of living and thinking mode of people have undergone great changes.Meanwhile,the abutting joint between the ever-changing open-source technology and the free market makes it bound to have the color of economy,and enabling the ethical spirit of freedom,openness and sharing and the calculation of cost and benefit generate some tension.Secondly,there will be conflicts between proprietary copyright and open sharing of software.The open source movement has gradually been accepted and recognized by the public in a way that is both strange and familiar in the interconnection between people and things.The open source ethical spirit of freedom,openness and sharing has influenced thousands of researchers involved in the development and creation in the world of people and things.The ethical spirit of freedom is the freedom of identity and relative freedom under a system or regulation,and it is an open and unrestricted freedom of choice.Openness and sharing mean that in a sustainable and open environment.each individual has chance available to resources.Technology has become a powerful weapon of national competition,China needs to strengthen the research and practice of open source ethics and culture,and participate in and utilize the open source model and culture to develop new technologies.
