Open Source

In production and development, open source is a philosophy, or a methodology that promotes free redistribution and access to a product's design or ideas and implementation details.

• open as in free

• open as in access

• open as in over time

• open as in not closed

• open as in reuse and change

• open as in any place and for anyone

OPEN SOURCE VS. CLOSED SOURCE

• View/Modify the source code of an application or software.

• Open source software is released to the development community and undergoes a secondary phase of evolution, but closed source software is developed in isolation with a small team of developers.

• Developer support and large community to help.

• Open Source is more secure and bugs and vulnerabilities are fixed often.
