Open Source

When a software program is open source, it means the program's source code is freely available to the public. Unlike commercial software, open source programs can be modified and distributed by anyone and are often developed as a community rather than by a single organization. Since the source code of an open source program can be modified by anyone, it makes sense that the software is also free to download and use.
