Interesting article and thanks to you and everyone that contributes to open source! However, there is a clarification that should be made.
Or I may say open source is code that is designed to be publicly accessible.
Open source code is usually publicly accessible, but being publicly accessible doesn't make code open source.
These software usually allow users to study, improve, change and redistribute the code to everyone.
Saying "usually" is incorrect. Open source software always allows users to use, change, and redistribute the code. If you can't do those things, then the code isn't open source.
Again, great article and keep up the good work of supporting open source. As the saying goes, sharing is caring.
By public accessible I mean, It allow users to study, improve, change and redistribute the code
I used the word usually since some open source licenses like AGPLv3 which have a few conditions on redistribution, so I might not say that as completely permissive over redistribution
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
