3 Reasons Why We Should Use Open Source Software
As we all know, open source software’s source code is available to the general public for modification or use from its original design or structure free of charge.
One of the famous open source softwares is Linux operating systems. But open source is not just about access to the source code. It has free distribution and it does not restrict other software.
Have you ever wonder why you should use open source software?
This article sites the top reasons why you should use open source software.
- First, open source programs are RELIABLE.
- Second, open source software offers STABILITY to business.
- Lastly, since the source code is available for free, businesses, users or organizations are not limited to acquiring SUPPORT from the program authors or developers.
Open source software’s source code availability to the public makes the program reliable.
Whenever there is a bug detected, developers or users tried to fix those bugs within a couple of hours, report it to the maintainers of the software and release an updated version.
Users may opt to choose to use the fixed version or the official version (including the fix releases).
Closed source software usually requires businesses to upgrade to the new versions of the software to support certain features needed.
This means cost for the business. Using an open source software, businesses or users can have access to the source code.
That will allow the business to support itself to the old version where necessary and gives more options to the businesses or users.
