Full Title or Meme
Open Source Software means just, and only, that. The software source code is opening available to all, typically on a free web site like https://github.com.
Problem
- The opposite is closed source software which is the way that software was originally written.
- The meaning of Open Source Software is sometimes conflated with Free Open Source Software, which is a common error.
- For example the Mil-OSS site claims that "Derivative works – The open source software licenses must allow the distribution of software containing modified source code in the same name as of the original software." Which most people consider to be a feature of Free Open Source Software.
Solution
- Open Source web site contains a list of FOSS organization and claims the meaning of open source to mean FOSS.
