Open Source Software

This may seem a little strange, but I can almost guarantee that you already use Open Source software or services based on Open Source software, in your daily lives. The Firefox web browser is Open Source software. If you use Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Ebay, or almost any other website you are using a service that is based on Open Source software. If you use Wikipedia then not only are you using a service that is based on Open Source software, you are using a service that is based on the Open Source idea and anyone can make changes. Wikipedia is based on the Open Source ideals and has become what many consider the greatest collection of human knowledge in history.
