    Open source software is sometimes called Free software or FOSS (Free and Open Source Software), because of four tenets of freedom that are a core part of the philosophy of the open source movement. First, you are free to run these software packages for any purpose--you generally don’t pay anything to acquire them. Second, the source code is free--you can see the code and understand how it works. Third, you are free to copy and redistribute the package to anyone you want. And finally, you are free to modify the software however you like, and to release those modifications.
