Part 1 - Open-Source: The Basics

In this episode, Ben and Jacob unravel the often-overlooked realm of open-source licensing and contributions. They kick things off by illuminating what open source is, contrasting it briefly with proprietary software. Diving deeper, they dissect open-source licensing, shedding light on common licenses like MIT, GPL, and Apache and why choosing the right license is crucial for both creators and contributors. They also touch on the initial steps of how you can contribute to open source projects, whether it's through code, documentation, or community support, emphasizing the importance of "Pull Requests" and code reviews in the process. Through a casual conversation, they lay down the foundation of open source, setting the stage for a deeper discussion in part two.
