Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, Open Source software is software that can be freely accessed, used, changed, and shared (in modified or unmodified form) by anyone. Open source software is made by many people, and distributed under licenses that comply with the Open Source Definition.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Windows is an operating system, but it is NOT an open-source operating system.
