What is Open Source

Basically, the term “open source” is used to describe a program or app where the author(s) gives the public access to the source code. Many companies are not thrilled with this concept, as revenue is lost from it. However, many terrific pieces of software are open source e.g. :- (the Linux operating system, Mozilla Firefox and the Ogg Vorbis sound file just a few). Since the code is freely distributed, the software is also (generally) free as well.
