Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Absolutely. All Open Source software can be used for commercial purpose; the Open Source Definition guarantees this. You can even sell Open Source software. However, note that commercial is not the same as proprietary.
Detailed explanation-2: -Open source software (OSS) is software that is distributed with its source code, making it available for use, modification, and distribution with its original rights.
