Some Facts About Open Source

Open Source Software is software copied for free.
The author must be credited, and any changes made by someone must be able to be used by the author.
The author of a piece of open source software puts licenses in place. Others can use and modify the written code, as long as the licenses are followed.
A department from the original code is called a branch, incorporating a change or patch into the original code is called upstreaming and a permanent split is called a fork.
The more contributors to code, the more essential it is to have a way of collaborating on changes.
