Understanding Open Source
Open source refers to software that is made available to anyone for use, modification, and sharing, often resulting in a framework that fosters innovation and creativity. It serves as a foundational layer for many popular products and services provided by tech giants and startups alike, effectively acting as a toolset or 'Lego blocks' that developers can utilize without incurring costs. This model allows individuals and businesses to build upon existing platforms while contributing to a larger ecosystem of shared resources. Research has demonstrated that open source contributes significantly to economic growth, with estimates suggesting it has generated around $8 trillion in value over the past two decades.
