Document Actions
Open Source is software that comes with the source-code required to build it - and in many cases a license that requires changes to the code to be given back to the community for everyone to use.
This creates opportunities for organizations to:
- gain access to the software and information they need, as well as the ability to modify it in new and innovative ways. Plus, leverage improvements made by people around the world.
- find timely updates and support documentation, which are often freely available on the Internet.
- have more choices in software vendors and consultants. Open Source helps level the playing field and open up healthy competition, and even new models of cooperation.
