Why Open Source?
Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance.
"Code" is the part of software that most computer users don't ever see, it's the code computer programmers can manipulate to change how a piece of software - a "program" or "application" - works. Programmers who have access to a computer program's source code can customise the software by adding features to it or fixing parts that don't always work correctly.
