<div><h4>What is Open Source?</h4></div>

For a couple of days now we have been talking about Open-source, and I'm not ignorant of the fact that some of us might not really know what the term "Open-source" means. For the sake of this post and for a better understanding of what we are going to talk about. 

***

Open-source is a model of computer software, a mobile or a web application which makes the source code accessible for individual study, research, modification and so on. The Open-source software is available for development by various developers from different domains.

<div><h4>A Brief History of Open Source</h4></div>

According to analysis; Open-source began in the 80s by Richard Stallman. He made this brilliant decision when he was faced with the challenge of fixing his printing machine, in other to avoid more complications he decided to take the printer back to the manufacturing company for repair as a result of the license behind the software. 

***

He got an idea through the inconvenience he experienced. He saw this is stress and he thought to himself that it’s better if the software could be designed or develop and the code be made available for study, fixed and improved by anyone who comprehends the code. This led to the creation of FOSS Free and Open Source.

***

A few months after Richard founded FOSS, he developed GNU which was hoped to be the Linux of today but failed due to some inabilities which Linus Torvalds successfully developed in 1991 and released as open-source for innovative contributions from developers around the globe. Linus is an operating system that manages the communication between your hardware and your software.
