uart said:I think you mean the "software" field. In the electrical field "open source" would be a mosfet device that required an external pull down resistor.
"Open Source" refers to software or hardware that is freely available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.
Unlike proprietary software or hardware, "Open Source" products are developed collaboratively and their source code is publicly available for others to view and modify.
"Open Source" products are often more affordable and customizable than proprietary products. They also promote collaboration and innovation within the field.
One potential drawback is a lack of official support or documentation for the product. Additionally, there may be concerns about the security and reliability of "Open Source" products.
You can contribute by using and promoting "Open Source" products, reporting bugs and issues, providing feedback, and even contributing to the development of the product through coding or documentation.
