Answer:

Open source is changing the way businesses, both large and small, function. Online communities are coming together like never before to promote the use of open source. It is in fact become a mass movement of sorts.

Explanation:

By strict definition, open source software is basically a software wherein a copyright holder provides the right to study, change and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.

But, open source is really not about getting a great software for free, its true power lies in the philosophy behind it- collaboration.

More minds can enhance a product than one mind or one company. Open source collaboration has been around from decades, but due to the ever growing number of startups and their budget constraints, it is becoming more mainstream than ever.

On a positive note, startups too have given back to the open source community by opening up some of their core products. Tech behemoths like Google, Facebook and others have made significant contributions to the open source world
