Definitions of free open-source software words
- abbreviation Technical meaning of FREE OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE free software 3
- noun Definition of free open-source software in Technology (software) Software that everyone is free to copy, redistribute and modify. That implies free software must be available as source code, hence "free open source software" - "FOSS". It is usually also free of charge, though anyone can sell free software so long as they don't impose any new restrictions on its redistribution or use. The widespread acceptance of this definition and free software itself owes a great deal to Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation.
