Open and Closed Software

• Open Source & Closed Source Software #1

  • Think of software like a recipe. It's a set of instructions that tell a computer what to do 
  • Open Source Software (OSS) is like a shared recipe. Anyone can look at it, change it, or share it with others. It's all about community and collaboration 
• • Open Source & Closed Source Software #2
  • Closed Source Software (CSS) is like a secret recipe that only particular chefs know. People can taste the dish at a restaurant but can't see the exact ingredients or change the recipe. This is how closed-source software works; the instructions are kept secret 
  • Knowing a little bit about these two types of software can help in understanding what's happening behind the scenes and in making better choices about the software that is used
