Definition  Open source  Source code is available for examination  Source Code  Consists of the programming statements that are created by a programmer with a text editor or a visual programming tool and then saved in a file

What is FOSS?  Free/Libre Open Source Software  Are programs whose licenses give users the freedom to:  Run the program for any purpose  Study and modify the program  Redistribute copies of either original or modified version
