What Is Open Source

In this article, I will tell you what is open-source software...

Well, Open source is a term that originally referred to open-source software (OSS). Open-source software is the code that is designed to be accessible to anyone and anyone can see and modify the code as they like.

Operating Systems Like Linux and websites like freecodecamp.org and RedHat are fantastic examples of open-source.

Open-source software is developed in a collaborative way, relying on peer review and feedback.

Open Source Software is a cheaper and easy way because don't have to hire a developer or do all the work yourself, and it is developed by communities rather than a single author.

People make open source software so that they can find new ways to implement different things in code and can learn new coding skills.
