Introduction to Introduction to Free and open source Software :-
A software for which source code is freely available with a license to study, change and further distributed to any other individual for any purpose is called open-source software. Open-Source Software is something which you can modify as per your needs, share with others without any licensing violation burden. When we say Open Source, source code of software is available publicly with Open-Source licenses which allows you to edit source code and distribute it.
The key fact that makes open-source software (OSS) different from proprietary software is its license. As copyright material, software is almost always licensed. The license indicates how the software may be used. OSS is unique in that it is always released under a license that has been certified to meet the criteria of the Open-Source Definition. In contrast, creators of proprietary software usually do not make their source code available to others to modify.
Open-source software is unique in that it is always released under a license that allows users to access, modify and redistribute the source code. Source code is a specialized language that allows software developers to create and modify computer programs. If you do not have legal access to the source code, then the program cannot be changed or moved to a different kind of computer
Objectives of Introduction to Free and open source Software :-
- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any
- The freedom to study how the program works and change it so it does your computing as you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help
- The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Summary of Introduction to Free and open source Software :-
In this chapter we learned, software remains free of charge, and they make money by helping others to install, use and troubleshoot it. Free and OSS development is emerging as an alternative approach for developing large software systems. New types and new kinds of software processes are emerging within FOSSD projects, as well as new characteristics for development project success, when compared to those found in traditional industrial software projects and those portrayed in software engineering textbooks. As a result, FOSSD offers new types and new kinds of processes to research, understand, improve, and practice.
