Open Source

Open Source is a development system that is not coordinated by an individual / institutional center, but by the actors who work together by utilizing the source code (source code) are freely distributed and available (usually using the Internet communication facilities). This development pattern takes bazaar-style model, so that the pattern of Open Source has a feature for the community that is the encouragement that comes from the culture of giving, which means that when a community using an open source program and has received a benefit and then be motivated to create a question of what user can give back to the crowd.

Pattern of Open Source was born because freedom works, without the intervention of thinking and expressing what they want by using the knowledge and the appropriate product. Freedom becomes the main consideration when released to the public. Other communities have the freedom to study, work on, revise again, to justify or even blame, but this freedom also comes with responsibility, rather than freely without responsibility.

In essence the concept of open source is open "source code" of a software. This concept seemed strange at first because the source code is the key of a software. With that in mind there is logic in the source code, so someone else should be making the same software functions. Open source is limited. That is, he does not have free. The definition of the original open source is as set out in the OSD (Open Source Definition) / Definition of open source.
