Yes, but what IS open source?[edit]
This article fails to address (or at least conceals the answer to) a key question:
What actually MAKES a program open source? For example, if a program is NOT open source, what prevents me from viewing and editing it as a text file?
This question is what brought me to this article. In my opinion, it is more than a key question. It is THE a key question. ---Dagme (talk) 17:10, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Copyright is what prevents you from (legally) editing and/or redistributing the program. So what makes a program open source is that the copyright holder has granted the legal permission to do so, using a license that fulfils the the Open Source Definition.
- With some technologies, you also cannot just view the pgoram as a text file because it has been compiled to machine code. In that case, there is also the practical issue of getting access to the source code in the first place.
- And yes, I agree that this article is not very helpful. I feel that's because it's too abstract and tries to cover topics ranging from software to fashion. The article specifically about Open-source software is better in that regard. --Tobias K. (talk) 13:48, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Improved open source disambiguation (that may become a broad concept article)[edit]
"Open source" (without dash, with dash, and disambiguation) are now redirected to the improved Open source disambiguation which may become a WP:broad concept article to reduce the extreme number of disambiguation-link alarms. Please read more on the latest developments on Talk:Open source and feel free to improve Open source. ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 17:07, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Editing a table within this page[edit]
Hi Folks,
I came across this wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_model#Economics and within the table, a company called 'Sauce Labs' is described as the leading company for Selenium (as seen in the table). That being said, the citation used - https://www.battery.com/powered/boss-index-tracking-explosive-growth-open-source-software/ clearly mentions BrowserStack and Sauce Labs. Could you guide me on the best way of incorporating 'BrowserStack' into the table? I am a novice and want to be cautious as there is also a conflict of interest (I work for BrowserStack).
Thank you.
