What is Open Source
Open-source software (OSS) is computer 
software with its source code made available 
with a license in which the copyright holder 
provides the rights to study, change and 
distribute the software to anyone and for any 
purpose.
Very Small History of 
Open Source
Concept of free sharing information existed long before computers, For example: Sharing of 
Cooking Recipe’s 
In early 1960’s any computer academy who develop a software shared its source code under 
the principle of openness & co-operation 
Any source code, human-readable form of software, was generally distributed with the 
software itself because 
Users frequently modified the software themselves, 
Resolve Compatibility issue with hardware or Operating System , 
Also to fix bugs or add new functionality. 
This led to a “Free Software Movement” via 
World Wide Web and later termed as 
"Open Source” 
History of Open Source
Open Source Principles 
Open source enables us to read the code 
We can see how it’s made 
The freedom to run the program for any purpose 
The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your 
needs 
The freedom to redistribute copies 
The freedom to improve the program

Licensing Model 
Any Open Source application has to be registered and licensed by the “FSF – 
Free Software Foundation” with a related distinct criteria to be declared as 
Free Software 
Free Proliferate Copyrighted License – GPL & MPL 
They require that any modified software and any program including this software in a derived product must be 
placed under the same license 
Free Copy Left Persistent Licenses – LGPL & BSD 
They contain a clause allowing users to mix the software with proprietary software and place it under a proprietary 
license, on the condition that the free module remains under a free license 
Free Non Copy Left Licenses – License Apache 
Any one can transform a source code under this license without acknowledging its original developer

Content Management System 
A content management system (Web CMS) is a bundled 
or stand-alone application to create, deploy, manage and 
store content on Web pages. Web content includes text 
and embedded graphics, photos, video, audio, and code 
(e.g., for applications) that displays content or interacts 
with the user. A Web CMS may catalog and index content, 
select or assemble content at runtime, or deliver content to 
specific visitors in a requested way, such as other 
languages. Web CMSs usually allow client control over 
HTML-based content, files, documents, and Web hosting 
plans based on the system depth and the niche it serves.

WordPress is an open-source and free Web 
publishing application, content management 
system (CMS) and blogging tool built by a 
community of developers and contributors. 
WordPress allows users to build dynamic 
websites and blogs that may be updated, 
customized and managed from its back-end 
CMS and integrated application and 
components.
WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit 
of code to enhance the typography of 
everyday writing and with fewer users than 
you can count on your fingers and toes. 
Since then it has grown to be the largest 
self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used 
on millions of sites and seen by ten millions 
of people every day. 
Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little co-founded 
WordPress.
