What is Open Source?
   Open source software is software that users have
   the ability to run, distribute, study and modify for
   any purpose.

   Open source is a collaborative software-
   development method that harnesses the power
   of peer review and transparency of process to
   develop code that is freely accessible.1

                        Open source draws on an
                        ecosystem of thousands of
                        developers and customers all
                        over the world to drive
                        innovation.2
