- (this will depend on the licensing i.e. OPENGPL)
- Jabber is instant messaging platform that you can develop on top
- How client feels towards open source?
- Coding Documentation, design documentation may have to be created on your own if not provided by open source

- objective of the course is more oriented towards professional/practical experience; therefore, open source code may not be regarded as plagarism
