16.What is open source?


 


To understand what “open source” is, it’s important to first know what “source code” is. Source code is the language in which software is written. It’s the language used in web browsers and applications telling the software how to operate and behave.

“Open source” means the source code is open and available for anyone to look at. You can experiment with, tweak or add, and reuse it for other products or services. The web browsers Chrome and Firefox are examples of open source software.
