Open source usually refers to software that is released with source code under a license that ensures that derivative works will also be available as source code, protects certain rights of the original authors, and prohibits restrictions on how the software can be used or who can use it.

 

The most important difference between software created by the open source communities and commercial software sold by vendors is that open source software is published under licenses that ensure that the source code is available to everyone to inspect, change, download, and explore as they wish. This is the essential meaning of open source: the source code--the language in which the software is written and the key to understanding how the software works--can be obtained and improved by anyone with the right skills. 

 

Open source software is open to developers and allows them to develop software to be used in conjunction. This provides the end user with a wide range of available software to choose. Cutting down on the need to do development work, which inturn saves time and money.

 

By using open source software a website that would generally cost 10's of thousands of dollars to produce can be created for a few thousand dollars or less.

 

It allows small and medium sizes businesses to add functionality to their websites that was once only affordable by large corporations.
