Open Source Channel
Open source refers to software, tools and other applications that allow free and open access to the source code used to write the program. Open source development is usually supported through user communities that share advances and fix problems; other projects are supported by private companies that sell services to support open source code; and still other open source code is optimized, supported and distributed by vendors selling hardware that runs open source applications. Examples of open source code include Linux, Apache, MySQL and Firebird.
