Open Source

Open-source licensing encourages innovation through collaboration. Without it, many of the technologies, programs and applications we use every day would never have been developed. The open-source movement has inarguably accelerated the development of technology over the past few decades.

Open-source software is typically shared publicly and stored in a public repository. Anyone with access to the repository is able to utilize the code or add enhancements to the project’s overall functionality and design. Open-source software frequently includes a distribution licence. This licence stipulates the conditions under which programmers may use, examine, alter, and (most significantly) distribute the software.
