W H AT D O E S O P E N S O U R C E M E A N ? The problem with the term open source is that everyone means something different when they use it. Some people just mean licensing. Some people think of a particular community’s set of practices. Others think that it means some kind of fuzzy democracy and mob rule.

DEFINITION OF OPEN SOURCE
