In today\u2019s times of proclaimed intellectual property rights, you can\u2019t even take an image from the web and post it to your website lest it leads to copyright infringement, forget about software! The software market is monopolized by giant players who will charge exorbitant rates for their product and never ever share their secret source code with you. This will make you completely dependent on these vendors, even for trouble-shooting. As the software is a sealed product, you can\u2019t edit it or customize it to add a few functionalities that your business wants.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You guessed it right, nobody owns the license of an OSS, because everybody owns it. The source code is open and anyone can access it, edit it. This is an initiative by Open Source Initiative, an international non-profit which advocates OSS as, in its own words, \u2018open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.\u2019<\/p>\n
