Open Source

According to Wikipedia “Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code,[1] design documents,[2] or content of the product. The open source model is a decentralized software development model that encourages open collaboration. “

It is important to note that just because a program is open source does not mean it is free to use

Examples of Open Source software include

  1. Linux – Linux is an open source operating system that has both paid and free versions. An example of a paid version is Red Hat. Examples of free versions include Linux Mint and Unbuntu.
  2. LibreOffice – A great free office suite.
