Open Source Software

[edit | edit source]

The term Open Source refers to source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance[1]. Source Code refers to the actual code that is used to run a particular software. Typically, the source code is not publicly available but the author can choose to make it public. The most common place to look for open source software is a website called Github which essentially stores code that developers have publicly published. Some examples include the source code for the linux operating system (an alternative to a Windows computer), OpenCalphad (thermodynamics calculation library), and ManiSkill (Robotic Simulation software).
