This blog is about the functions of open source and its principle. It’s really important and essential to the new beginner who just start to learn coding and how to design the websites. We need to know which public information and sources we could use form open internet to help improving our websites and which we could not use. 

It is the intersection of intellectual property and open-source principles that yields open source licensing. The most authoritative source for guidance comes from The Open Source Initiative. The organization’s website can be found at opensource.org. 

This means everyone could have a chance to access to the source with source open in shared source scenarios.The code you get from the open source project must not require a royalty or any other fee. The program must include source code and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. This goes to the core of what open source is all about. 

For myself, it’s a good way to learn when I look through website with a good layout and  have a look at its page source.  

Open-source licenses allow software to be freely used, modified, or shared, while respecting the original programmer’s authorship and intent. This is not a coding course. Rather, it’s an exploration of the legal and business aspects of open-source software licensingNow, the most popular open source software is Android which is also one of the most influential open source software. I think most of people who do not use Apple products use Android every day. Also, if it were not for the open source of Android, there would not be so many mobile phone manufactures and the rise of the mobile internet.
