Aside from being a philosophy and a movement, the term open source refers to software applications which have source code which has been made available for either use or modifications by the author. According to the official definition of open source, free redistribution, public source code, integrity of the source code, and non-discrimination against persons, groups, or fields of endeavor are some of the hallmarks of the movement and software.
