What Is Open Source Software?

Open Source is more than usual freeware. Open source is a movement whose base credo is that software should be developed for free. Open source programs are usually developed by scores of programmers scattered throughout the globe.

Open Source is responsible for such pieces of software as the Mozilla and FireFox browser, the Thunderbird and Mozilla Mail email clients, etc.

Open Source is called "open source" because the source code behind these applications is opened to access by anyone who wishes to contribute to the global effort.
