What's Open Source?
It is a method and philosophy for software distribution & licensing, designed to encourage use and improvement of software written by programmer volunteers. Anyone can copy and modify it freely.
Software code is included with the package. The programmers that work on the code
do it for nothing. It can be sponsored by a large
corporation, such as Sun or IBM. It is Open Source which means it is not owned by any corporation or individual.
