Hi,
depends on your definition of open source.
- The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do
what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for
this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
(freedom 2).
- The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others
(freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to
benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for
this.
I am talking my definition of open source with respect to freedom 1 which
the free and open source freedoms promises.
regards,
Thyagarajan Shanmugham
