Definition(s)

  • Open source refers to the software-industry tradition of developing and sharing source code and standards, and of encouraging collaborative development. Often aligned with hacker culture, open-source software has contributed to many important developments in Internet infrastructure, including BIND, the Berkeley Internet Name Daemon servers that run the Domain Name System; in software, including Linux and the Apache Web server; and in software languages, including Perl, Tcl, and Python.
