Advantages of open source software
- Open source software is computer software whose source code is accessible under a licence that conforms to the open source definition or is in the public domain. This allows anyone to use, change or improve the software and redistribute it in a modified or unmodified form. It is often developed in a public, collaborative manner.
- Using open source rather than licence-based software has many advantages. Besides cost, open source solutions also offer continuous updates, flexibility to adapt systems to precise requirements, and server portability.
- One of the key advantages is portability. The systems we build have no black boxes, licence fees or restrictions of any kind. The site can be hosted at the ISP of your choice and moved at any stage, maintained or taken over by any company with knowledge of PHP and MySQL. This transfer can be made without incurring licensing costs.
"Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in."
