Open Source VoIP
What
is Open Source |
| |
Open-source software has freely
available source code, which lets anybody create a new version of the software.
Such access to the source code allows anybody to build a package of the
software and sell it. Open source generally means the same set of software
that is also free software, despite some minor differences.
Some people have used the term open source in reference to any software
that has publicly available source code, but not all publicly available
source code meets open source standards. The Open Source Definition (OSD),
notably, presents an open-source philosophy, and further defines a boundary
on the usage, modification and redistribution of open-source software. Software
licenses define specific grants or restrictions on usage, modification and
redistribution, and several open-source software licenses have qualified
within the boundary of the OSD, like the popular GNU
General Public License (GPL). Open
