Open Source Software

Art Threat Magazine and www.artthreat.net are both created using as much open source and free software as possible. For a brief definition, let's turn to Wikipedia:

Open source describes the principles and methodologies to promote open access to the production and design process for various goods, products, resources and technical conclusions or advice. The term is most commonly applied to the source code of software that is made available to the general public with either relaxed or non-existent intellectual property restrictions. This allows users to create user-generated software content through either incremental individual effort, or collaboration.

Here is an incomplete list of the software we use, and links to where you can download the programs and try them for yourself. Everything here runs on Mac OSX, but many of these programs also have Linux and/or Windows versions as well.
