Open Source

Open source refers to software whose source code is made freely available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. This approach encourages collaborative development, transparency, and community-driven improvements. Open source is widely used in operating systems (like Linux), applications, and frameworks. The open source model contrasts with proprietary software, where code is closed and controlled by the original author. Open source fosters innovation, security, and reliability by leveraging broad participation and peer review.
