What is Open Source?

Open source software (OSS) began as a marketing campaign for free software. Can be defined as computer software for which the human-readable source code is made available under a copyright license (or arrangement such as the Public Domain) that meets the Open Source Definition. This permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified form.
