Open Source License

An open source license is a legal agreement that allows anyone to use, modify, and share software freely. It ensures the software’s source code is accessible to the public and sets rules for how it can be used, such as giving credit to original creators or sharing improvements. These licenses promote collaboration, innovation, and transparency by removing restrictions typically found in proprietary software. Different open source licenses vary in permissions and requirements, but all aim to encourage the development and sharing of software for the benefit of the community.
