Open source development (OSD) has taken the world by storm in recent years. Pitted against proprietary or closed source software, there has been a huge surge in open source development lately. Open source development has been hugely benefitted because of the General Public License (GPL) and the Internet.
The success of open source creations like Linux and Apache has mainly contributed to an environment conducive for open source development around the world. Due to the nature of the GPL, the discussion of which is outside the scope of this blog, it is possible to further improve and develop the source code for an open source application or a project. This system of freely available source code has led to a tremendous number of programmers and code developers working in parallel for the improvement of the particular open source application or project.
This model has surpassed the ability of traditional software companies to provide upgrades and offer fixes for bugs in their software. Thus peer review is possible with open source software, which generally lags behind for closed source of proprietary software. This blog describes the key benefits to the eventual users of the application through open source development. These benefits are generally not available to closed source software companies.
Availability of a large talent pool of programmers
Since open source software is open to anyone on the Internet, it is possible for many individual or groups of programmers around the world to contribute to the development of the open source application or project. Therefore, programmers with various skill levels from all around the world make it possible to work in parallel and contribute to the development of the open source application or project.
