Open Source is a method and philosophy of developing software. The spirit of Open Source is meritorious freedom; intelligent, well-managed projects garner the support of massive developer and user communities and, in turn, become extremely stable and bug-free while offering excellent out-of-the-box functionality and unparalleled customizability.
In practice, open source software is often developed by a large group of smart and civic-minded developers and benefits from a vast pool of community support. That means our customers get to use mature and well-supported software without the costly licensing and support fees that come with traditional closed-source software.
