    Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.

    2 Open-source software

    1) LINUX os
    2) correct/edit tags of mp3 files : Mp3 Tag Tools


    Justification:

    Software that fits the Free Software Definition may be more appropriately called free software; the GNU project in particular objects to their works being referred to as open source.

    Free software licenses are not written exclusively by the FSF. The FSF and the OSI both list licenses which meet their respective definitions of free software or open source software.

    The FSF believes that knowledge of the concept of freedom is an essential requirement, insists on the use of the term free,and separates itself from the open source movement
