Open source refers to software where the source code is openly available and can be modified or customized by users. It provides freedoms for users to use, study, share, and improve software. Some key open source projects include Linux, Android, Mozilla Firefox, and OpenOffice. Open source offers advantages like lower costs, interoperability, and customizability while potential disadvantages include lack of warranty and support. Common myths about open source include that it is unreliable, unsupported, and not used by big companies.

3. Open source refers to a program in which the source code is available
to the general public for use and/or modification from its original design
free of charge
Open Source as the name implies is visible set of instructions
which is open to public or users to change and customize as per
their needs. It can be either be free one or paid one where the
users can change the code as per their needs.
Open source code is typically created as a collaborative effort
in which programmers improve upon the code and share the
changes within the community.
The source code and certain other rights usually restricted to
copyright holders are offered within a software license that
enables users to analyze, change, and improve possibly at
times and to distribute the software.

the user cannot only view but also can change the
source code of the existing application.
 Closed-source software is hidden to prevent the
user either viewing or changing the code.

18. The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit corporation formed
to educate about the benefits of open source
Open Source is a certification standard issued by the Open
Source Initiative (OSI) that indicates that the source code of
a computer program is made available free of charge to the
general public.
To summarize, the Definition model of distribution terms
require that:
 The software being distributed must be redistributed to
anyone else without any restriction.
 The source code must be made available (so that the
receiving party will be able to improve or modify it).
 The license can require improved versions of the software to
carry a different name or version from the original software.

19. Open source license doesn't just mean
access to the source code – it has to meet
other criteria as well.
The important issue is that the source code
should available; there should be
permission to modify the source code and
further distribute it.
Open-source software licenses are
approved by the Open Source Initiative
(OSI) based on their Open Source
Definition (OSD).

21. •GNU acronym for Gnu’s Not UNIX was developed by
free software foundation(FSF) to provide royalty-free
software to programmers and developers.
•GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not
Unix!", chosen because GNU's design is Unix-like, but
differs from Unix by being free software and containing
no Unix code
•Development of GNU was initiated by Richard
Stallman in 1983.

22. •The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or GPL)
is the most widely used free software license, which
guarantees end
users (individuals, organizations, companies) the
freedoms to use, study, share (copy), and modify the
software.
•This license means that the source code isfreely
distributed and available to the general
public, usually via the Internet.
•Software that ensures that these rights are retained is
called free software.

26. Open source tools is a program -- or tool -- that performs a very specific
task, in which the source code is openly published for use and/or
modification from its original design, free of charge.
Open source tools are typically created as a collaborative
effort in which programmers improve upon the code and
share the changes within the community, and is usually
available at no charge under a license defined by the Open
Source Initiative.
Many types of Open Source Tools available which has seen a considerable
rise with the advent of internet.

KompoZer is a complete web authoring system that
combines web file management and easy-to-use WYSIWYG(What You See

28. Sendmail:Sendmail is an open source mail transfer agent (MTA) used for routing and
delivery e-mail. The original version of Sendmail was written by Eric Allman in the
early 1980s. It is estimated that Sendmail is installed on 60 to 80 percent of the
Internet's mail-server computers.
Apache Web server:Often referred to as simply Apache, a public-domain open source Web server
developed by a loosely knit group of programmers. The first version of
Apache, based on the NCSA httpd Web server, was developed in 1995. Core
development of the Apache Web server is performed by a group of about 20
volunteer programmers, called the Apache Group. However, because the source
code is freely available, anyone can adapt the server for specific needs, and
there is a large public library of Apache add-ons.

29. Linux:A freely distributable open source operating system that runs on a number of
hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly by Linus
Torvalds. Because it's free, and because it runs on many platforms, including
PCs and Macintoshes, Linux has become an extremely popular alternative to
proprietary operating systems.
GNOME
Acronym for GNU Network Object Model Environment. GNOME is part of
the GNU project and part of the free software, or open source, movement.
GNOME is a Windows-like desktop system that works on UNIX and UNIXlike systems and is not dependent on any one window manager. The current
version runs on Linux, FreeBSD, IRIX and Solaris. The main objective of
GNOME is to provide a user-friendly suite of applications and an easy-to-use
desktop.

30. 1. Lower total cost of ownership.
2. Reduced dependence on software vendors.
3. Open source software gives you the power to control
your software's code. You have the right to modify
the code to suit your requirements.
4. Reduced development effort / time by re-using
existing code

31. 1.
Most open source software applications are not reliable.
2. No guarantee of updates since you are not paying for the
open source software nobody is bound to give you regular
updates. You can get stuck with the same old version for
years without ever getting an update.
3. No one is bound with you for maintenance and support like
as legal software vendors, if any error in working of
software occurs.
4. No warranties regarding to viruses and performance.

32. 1. It's all about Linux versus Windows, with
Red Hat as yet another challenger to
Microsoft.
2. Open-source Software Isn't Reliable or
Supported.
3. Big companies don't use open source
software.
4. There's no money to be made on free
software.
5. Open
Source is playing catch up to
Microsoft and the commercial world.

33. •Open source is a wonderful alternative to
Proprietary/Closed-Source
•Free
•Malleable
•Shareable
•Ever changing!!
