Open source is a term that originally referred to open source software (OSS). Open source software is code that is designed to be publicly accessible—anyone can see, modify, and distribute the code as they see fit.
Open source refers to software whose source code is made freely available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. In programming languages, open source means that the language’s implementation can be shared and improved by the community, promoting collaboration, transparency, and innovation. Examples of open-source languages include Python, Ruby, and PHP.
