                                    This paper makes an attempt to explain the latest open source technology.  In modern computer world huge companies like the New York Stock Exchange are starting to adopt free open source software. So it is necessary to discuss about the open source technologies.

            Open source's potential for delivering significant savings to the bottom line, resulting from the lack of software license fees. The concept of free sharing of technological information existed long before computers. For example, cooking recipes have been shared since the beginning of human culture.

            Many fields of study and social and political views have been affected by the growth of the concept of open source.

Open-source software is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees. In this paper I discussed drawbacks in open source also. Some drawbacks like,

Reporting of bugs etc.

                       

Anyhow, OSS Economical, and licensed .When an open-source system is used, the operating environment and source code availability provides vast opportunities for teaching, learning, experimentation and Researches. So it is very useful for latest technology development and students….!
