I was reading about main principles of open source community and so far found the following: transparency, collaboration, meritocracy, community-driven, freedom to modify and redistribute, innovation, non-discrimination, sustainability.
While it all makes perfect sense, reproducibility aspect is not mentioned. Do you think it is worth including it as one of the main principles of FOSS in some nearest future?
Under US copyright law, there are five primary rights defined, with the most fundamental being reproduction rights. Open Source licenses are frameworks that grant third parties permission to engage in actions that would otherwise infringe on these reproduction rights, so it can be said that reproducibility is inherently guaranteed.
However, in the scientific world, reproducibility refers to the ability to reproduce research results using the original data and software code. This can lead to some confusion when discussing the term in the context of AI.
