The best open source software makes it easy to perform day-to-day tasks on Windows, Mac, and Linux without paying a license fee.

01. What is open source? Open source software is any type of program, and the developers behind it choose to release the source code for free. As long as the software has an open source license, it means that anyone in the world can download, modify, and distribute it without paying a fee to its original creator.

Since the open source movement took off as a software development concept in the late 1990s, it has changed the world. It is even estimated that 96 per cent of the world's Web servers run on some form of open source Linux operating system.

It's important to remember that open source doesn't just mean "free". Many companies release their software for free, but retain full copyright ownership of their code, so other developers cannot modify it. By contrast, successful open source projects are based on the hard work of thousands of collaborators who voluntarily give up their time to create something great.

This accessible development system has some important advantages. Open source software is usually more secure because people from all over the world check the new version carefully and bugs are quickly reported and resolved. In addition, there is an incentive to add cool new features to open source platforms, which means that open source software is often as good as competitive paid apps.

InfoWorld, the Best Open Source Software list in 2002 and 2022, is an information technology media company. It was founded in 1978 and has grown since its initial monthly publication. But better known is its parent company, International Data Group (IDG). IDG is not only a media and information technology publishing company but also a venture capital firm, so it appears in the financing news of major Internet companies (formerly).

Going back to this "Best Open Source Software list", every year InfoWorld chooses the "Best Open Source Software (BOSSIE)" according to the software's contribution to the open source world and its influence in the industry. Let's take a look at whether there are any familiar faces in this list.

Which open source software is most suitable for you? When deciding which open source software to download and use, first consider what your actual needs are, because some platforms may only provide basic options, so if you need to use advanced tools, you may find different platforms more worthwhile.

There are many different open source software options, some of which are better than others, but ultimately your choice will be based on whether the open source platform provides the tools you actually need, so make sure you have a good understanding of which features you think you might need.
