OpenSource

Open source refers to a type of software and collaborative approach where the source code—the underlying instructions that make the software work—is made freely available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. This means developers can improve upon existing software, fix bugs, or create new features without restrictions. Popular examples include Linux, an operating system, and the web browser Mozilla Firefox. Open source promotes innovation, transparency, and community involvement, allowing users to contribute and share knowledge, ultimately leading to more robust and accessible technology.
