Question

Which of these is NOT a core principle of open source software, based on the Open-­‐Source Initiative’s definitions? (a) The program must include source code. (b) The license must allow people to experiment with and redistribute modifications. (c) The license must not allow a user to sell modified versions of the software.

Answer 1

The license must allow people to experiment with and redistribute modifications.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

In the understanding of the FSF, open-source license criteria center around the accessibility of the source code and the capacity to alter and share it, while free programming licenses centers around the client's opportunity to utilize the program, to adjust it, and to share it.

Flexibility and agility, speed, cost effectiveness, ability to start small, great information security are some of the great properties and characteristics of the open source software.
