'''Category: open source''' — 'open source' means the computer code that runs the {{tag|software}} program is 'open' for people to look at and tweak or add features to.
 
The 'open source movement', founded in the late {{tag|1990s}}, was formed as part of a marketing campaign for {{tag|free software}}.  It emphasized the economic and technical benefits of open source code and open development, but with little or no care about the ethical (or [[:Category:Law|legal]]) aspects.  There is, however, very little software acknowledged by the [https://OpenSource.org Open Source Initiative] that is not also free software, hence the term {{tag|FOSS}} (Free and Open Source Software) is often used.
