Open source OS Vs Closed source OS F2032 Fundamental of OS Open Source OSClosed Source OS - True-open-source development requires that a community of software engineers band together to work on the software. -The idea is that more minds create better software. - Owned by someone (or some organization) and distributed through a variety of retail channels including the owner's website. - If the program is in the form of shareware, a fully functional version of the program can be installed and run. - There may be a limited period of time after which the software will disable itself Include source code for those interested in peering into how the program does what it does and possibly contributing to the development effort. The source code is not usually included. The buyer pays for the right to use the program but does not own it Example: ?
