 Introduction

Open-source software (OSS) is a type of computer software whose source code is released under a license in
which the copyright holder grants users the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for
any purpose. Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative public manner. According to scientists who
studied it, open-source software is a prominent example of open collaboration. The term is often written without a
hyphen as "open source software".

Open-source software development, or collaborative development
from multiple independent sources, generates an increasingly more
diverse scope of design perspective than any one company is capable
of developing and sustaining long term.

Advantages
Let’s see what are the advantages of open source softwares that
make customers so much attracted towards them.

 Advantages

CONTINOUS EVOLVEMENT QUALITY FLEXIBILTY

It’s continually evolving in real time as Open source software gets closest to what users It is flexible because modular systems allow
developers add to it and modify it want because those users can have a hand in programmers to build custom interfaces, or add new
making it so abilities to it

INTEROPERABILITY FREEDOM SUPPORT

Open source software is much better at When businesses turn to open source software, Open source software is generally free, and so is
adhering to open standards than proprietary they free themselves from the severe vendor lock- a world of support through the vibrant
software is. in that can afflict users of proprietary packages. communities surrounding each piece of software.

Disadvantages
Each thing has its own advantages & disadvantages as well.
So let’s what disadvantages open source softwares have.

PA G E 7
 Disadvantages

Vulnerable to malicious users

Many use the privilege to exploit the product’s vulnerabilities and
create bugs that can infect hardware, steal identities or just annoy
other users.

MARKET Might not be as user-friendly

Several programs which are created mainly to cater to the
TOOLS developer’s wishes and bring his ideas to life. As a result, not
much attention is given to the software’s user interface

Straightforward to use
Open-source operating systems cannot be learned in a day.
They require effort and possibly training from your side
before you are able to master them.

 Open Source
Initiative
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting open-source software.

OPEN SOURCE DEFINITION

OSI The Open Source Definition is a document published by the Open Source
Initiative, to determine whether a software license can be labeled with the
open-source certification mark.

OSI uses The Open Source Definition to

determine whether it considers a software
license open source.

PA G E 9
 Licenses

Different licenses allow programmers to modify the software with various

conditions attached. The distribution terms of open-source software must
comply with the Open Source Definition. The OSI approves licenses that
comply with their definition of open-source software.

People have more control It helps them become better People consider it more Programmers publicly

 Conclusion
The open source movement has grown
to become a significant force in today's
computing environment
In some sectors of the software industry,
open source programs have become
popular enough to provide real competition
to proprietary alternatives.
In other sectors, they have emerged as
the dominant standard.
Open source software projects are built
and maintained by a network of
volunteer programmers and are widely
used in free as well as commercial
products.
While the term "open source" applied
originally only to the source code of
software, it is now being applied to many
other areas such as Open source

patch, adjust, or adapt, we could."
