Application development - Concept
Open source
Software whose underlying code is available for others to inspect, use and often change
What's it for?
Lets people inspect, use and often change software whose source code is publicly available.
For example…
The team uses freely available software and contributes a fix back.
A development team uses an open-source database whose source code can be inspected and modified under its licence
Think of it like…
Community cookbook left on the table: anyone can cook from it, and good kitchens share improvements
