Our weapons - Open Source

Open Source is a development model for software where the source code is freely available. You have the right to:

• Read the source code
  
• Use the software
  
• Modify the software
  
• Redistribute the software

These rights support rapid development and make it easier to find and fix bugs. The rights also imply that there are no licence costs.

For those using Open Source software it means independence, since you are no longer in the hands of a single supplier.

Open Source companies make money by consulting, support, education, hosting and accessory sales. They also capture market share by releasing open source software.
