Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product.
- Explanation that is easy to understand:
Imagine your class is working on a science project. Everyone adds their research and ideas to a shared document. You can tweak what others have written and add your own insights. If another group sees your project and wants to use it, they can take it, make changes, and improve it too. This way, all the groups can build on each other’s work and make something even better! Or just that guy in the class who just takes others work maybe add some jargon and present it as his own. That's @maz0n.
