Almost everyone who uses e-mail or surfs the Web is an open source software user. Most email passes through open source servers as it crosses the Internet. Most Web servers also rely on open source software, and Google’s search engine is based on open source software, too. As the OSI (Open Source Initiative) points out, the running gears of the Internet, including the mail transports, Web and FTP servers, are virtually all open source-based.
