Open source exists in several sectors such as computer software, electronics, food and beverage, digital contents, pharmaceutical industry, transportation and fashion. With the use of open source in software industry, open source code took an important place in our lives.
Open source software is a software which has source codes open to all. Thanks to open source code software, we are freed of paying excessive prices to licensed products and being obliged to expect support from developers every time an error occurs. Open source software is published together with its source codes. Which means; by making any modification on this code, we can generate our own version.
By means of open source code, you don’t have to start over from scratch to create a new product. It is possible to create entirely new or additional products by making modifications on already existing similar products. You can also sell this product you developed, as long as you provide its open code.
