    General Idea of Open Source Software ::


    Use the software as they wish, for whatever they wish, on as many computers as they wish, in any technically appropriate situation. Have the software at their disposal to fit it to their needs. Of course, this includes improving it, fixing its bugs, augmenting its functionality, and studying its operation. Redistribute the software to other users, who could themselves use it according to their own needs. This redistribution can be done for free, or at a charge, not fixed beforehand. Users of a piece of software must have access to its source code.

    Code is everywhere, and it is more and more likely to be open source from the bottom to the top of the stack. Ruby,Python,Perl,JavaScript and PHP dominate the list of top languages at GitHub. This code, in turn, runs on open source libraries that sit onLinux. Although proprietary coding tools and extensions continue to proliferate, the core is increasingly fully open source. Open source content management systems like web.py, phpBB, CakePHP, Lift, Drupal, Joomla, and probably hundreds of other open source CMS frameworks are packaging up most of the information you read today
