Explain the example of open source application software?

Answer 1

Open source application software is a type of software package. In this package is every source and compiled file used in its creation for users to modify, compile, reuse, and distribute for free.

Answer 2

Fantasy, freedom, forward planning, FFF I used to say. Aprogramer or just any individual has an idea for a software, but he has no money or time needed to develop this software. So he put his idea on the table of open community. There lotof programmers and developers in their free time put in this idea their fantasy or needs ,and a software developed, wich is free to the whole world. Benefits of open source software is that many people involved,everyone put his individual effort or ideas,so open source software grown up and become a mature software, stable with alot of charateristics. And that's is good for the home user. Look for example at 7-zip (a file archiever) http://www.7-zip.org/, wich can cmpress and un-compress any type of file, and with a higher compressed r4atio, than any other shareware software. Look at the OpenOffice project, a program equal if not better for MS Office http://www.openoffice.org/ or look at GIMP an image edit software equal if not better from photoshop www.gimp.org and you get all that for free without needed to pay lot of money other software wants. Many developers worked for a company involved to an open source software just to see an idea they had becime part of a project. And us users we get all these for free and we can work just as all the proffesuinal can, rven if it's file arcihive, image editing , movie editing, or presentations and spreedsheets. And to use some of the words of open source comunity: "open-software, "no secrets" approach. Anyone can look at the programs and suggest improvements, or fix bugs. Anyone can report problems or request enhancements, and anyone can see the response from other users or developers" Application software is a defined subclass of computer software that employs the capabilities of a computer directly to a task that the user wishes to perform. This should be contrasted with system software which is involved in integrating a computer's various capabilities, but typically does not directly apply them in the performance of tasks that benefit the user. The term application refers to both the application software and its implementation.

Answer 3

AN example would be Open Office.

Answer:Open Source software is defined as any software where the source code programming is open and allows the user to view, change and improve the code. The most popular type of Open Source software is Linux. The Apache HTTP server project, Open Office, and Android (the Google Phone OS) are examples as well. Open Source is the opposite of closed source and is often licenced under the GNU Licence agreement.

Answer 4

Open source means that the source code is made available to be freely modified by anyone who feels like making it better. Often it is free in price, and a common rule is that the anyone who uses the code, modifying it or redistributing it, have to keep the code open.
