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: -Closed source means computer programs whose source code is not published except to licensees. It is available to be edited only by the organization that developed it and those licensed to use the software.
Detailed explanation-3: -In closed-source, or proprietary, software development, only the object code is published; the source code is held secret in order to control customers and markets. Open-source projects reject this practice and publish all their source code on the Internet under licenses that allow free redistribution.
Detailed explanation-4: -Closed source software (CSS) is opposite to OSS and means the software which uses the proprietary and closely guarded code.
