We are in the Open Source Revolution where people collaborate to create, produce software or technology.
Based upon the key advantages of Open source technology , we can finally conclude that open source deserves the increasing popularity.
If you make your software open source, volunteer coders will fix all of your problems for free.
Above all of them, do you doubt on or make question about your right to have a freedom? Take action and pursue your goals actively.
Availability of source code
Source code to understand and learn from
Do not have to re-invent the wheel
Free as in freedom
Does not depend on vendor
Can choose additional support
Can fix bugs and adapt to change in requirements as well as technology
Quality and Customizability in open source is better.
