Open-Source Software (OSS)

From Wikipedia Open-source software (OSS) is

computer software with its source code made available with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative public manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open-content movements.

The open-source model, or collaborative competition development from multiple independent sources, generates an increasingly diverse scope of design perspective than one company development alone can sustain long term.

Closed Source Software (OSS)

From damicon,Close Software

Closed-source programs are 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.

The concept of shareware started out as a way for independent software developers to distribute their programs and make some money off of their efforts. As the concept gained acceptance and as some of these developers became successful, some software development companies adopted the idea.

Another approach is to create a demonstration (demo) version of the software. Demo versions are usually designed to expire after some period of time and/or may have limited features to prevent full use of the software. Demos are usually distributed by commercial enterprises.

Comparison of Open Source And Closed Source Operating Systems

Open Source OS	Closed 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
