This week, Im a little confused about the Open Source Licences. The lecture states that the application's source code is given so users can modify, do whatever they want with it, and even resell.
After doing a little research, Wikipedia cleared it up buy saying that it is a copyright license for computer software that makes the source code available under terms that allow for modification and redistribution without having to pay the original author.
So, Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code or they can do whatever they want with it. Users must comply with the criteria of the developer.
