Open source computer software is nominally owned by one individual or entity and then licensed out according to an open source license; the license gives the user free use of the software as well access to the source code, so that the software can then be further developed by whoever is interested.

Open source computer software is nominally owned by one individual or entity and then licensed out according to an open source license; the license gives the user free use of the software as well access to the source code, so that the software can then be further developed by whoever is interested. Among the works that explore and justify open source development is a series of works by Eric Raymond which include the [Cathedral and the Bazaar]? and [Homesteading the Noosphere]?.
