OSS full form In Computer and what is OSS and how its work: GadgetQuestion

In this Segment we are going to discuss about OSS full form in Computer. OSS full form in computer is OPEN SOURCE IN COMPUTER. Now we want know about open source software use and importance.

So let's first see what an open software is a software whose source code is freely distributed with a license to study change or further distribute to anyone for any purpose is called an open source software.

Why open source software is made available because not everybody can pay for a software dedicated programmers will improve upon that source code and they will share the changes within the community so if you are using a open source software then if you are a member of that community then you will get to know what are the new changes that are being made in that software and then you can use the new software open source software provides these advantages to the users because of its communities only security affordability transparency interoperability flexibility and localization what it essentially means is that 

if you're someone who wants to develop a software but you cannot afford to do it from scratch you do not have the time you do not have the expertise you do not have that much of money to invest so you can take a open source software that is related to it and then you can just develop or customize it according to your own needs make it that much more flexible and then you can use it further so that is water open source software is there are two types of open source software let's look at them the first one is the freeware what is a freeware it is available free of cost for use and distribution but it cannot be modified why it cannot be modified.

Because its source code is not available it is still called an open software open source software because you don't have to pay for it some of the examples include Google Chrome that you use for browsing the web or Skype that you for chatting or I don't acrobat PDF reader that we use for reading PDF files there is another type of open source software that is called the shareware what is sure where it is initially free and can be distributed but it needs to be paid for after a stipulated period of time why because the source code is not available for example if you are using a software called Winrar for compressing your files so initially you can download it for free but after 45 days it will ask you to pay for it otherwise you cannot use it

So it is an example of shareware in this segment we have discussed about OSS full form in computer.
