Abstract

Open-source refers to the practice of making source code freely available to the public, allowing anyone to view, modify and distribute the code. In computer science and software development, open source is important for several reasons, as explained in the below sections. By allowing anybody to access, evaluate and alter the source code, open source encourages greater transparency and security. This increases the software’s overall security and stability by allowing developers and security professionals to find and repair bugs and security vulnerabilities more rapidly.
