What Is LAMP?
LAMP stands for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. Instead of PHP, Perl and Python are also used. This is a free and lightweight alternative to “WISA,” Windows-IIS-SQL Server-ASP (and now, ASP.Net). Here free represents end user’s liberties, not the price of software. With LAMP you can:
- Run the program for any purpose.
- A complete Freedom. If you have the source code, you can study how the programs work, and adapt it to your needs and even improve the program, and release your improvements so that the all your future clients get the benefit.
- Reserve the right to distribute copies.
- A complete access to library collections and services.
- Minimal Costs. LAMP contains hard costs for software licenses and computer hardware.
In a free software world of future, where there would be no software patents and where no one will be able to own software, if you are the original developer of your software, you would be respected to make important decisions. You can earn money by these services (extensions, modifications of existing software, fixes, and new software) and by buying and selling the support services. And when your resources at iBoss Tech Solutions work for you as a virtual team, you can be assured of the business benefits as we give you the rights to the source code.
