In production and development, open source as a development model promotes
- a) universal access via free license to a product's design or blueprint
- b) universal redistribution of that design or blueprint, including subsequent improvements to it by anyone.
Generally, open source refers to a computer program in which the source code is available to the general public for use and/or modification from its original design. Open-source code is typically created as a collaborative effort in which programmers improve upon the code and share the changes within the community. Open source sprouted in the technological community as a response to proprietary software owned by corporations..
