 Open-Source
Software - (Open
System, Open Systems-based) - The open-source
software's
source code is made openly available (unlike Windows.) This means
that programmers who want to change and hopefully improve the code, can
do so, but there's a
catch; they have to disclose all improvements and under most
licenses,
disburse them for free. At the heart of the movement may be an
open-source
operating
system called Linux, a version of the UNIX operating system that was
developed
(primarily) by the Finnish programmer Linus Torvalds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software
