Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. “Source code” is the part of software that most computer users don’t ever see; it’s the code computer programmers can manipulate to change how a piece of software-a “program” or “application"-works.
Detailed explanation-3: -Open source software is always free to use, change and distribute–with some conditions. Freeware may or may not come with source code. If the source code is not available, users won’t be able to change the program. Many freeware programs are only free for personal use.
