Detailed explanation-1: -Closed-source software (proprietary software) is software whose author owns all rights to use, modify, and copy it. Software products that do not meet the requirements for open-source software are generally categorized as closed-source software.

Detailed explanation-2: -Closed source software is software that holds the source code safe and encrypted. Meaning, the user can’t copy, modify, or delete parts of the code without some type of consequence. It can go from voiding the warranty to even legal repercussions. Open source software is software that does the complete opposite.

Detailed explanation-3: -Closed Source software is something that cannot be widely distributed due to licensing that comes with the products. Examples of Closed Source software would be Windows, Microsoft Office, Skype, or Internet Explorer.

Detailed explanation-4: -With closed source software (also known as proprietary software), the public is not given access to the source code, so they can’t see or modify it in any way. But with open source software, the source code is publicly available to anyone who wants it, and programmers can read or change that code if they desire.
