What is open source?

Open source is a term for projects or software products whose source code is accessible and editable by the community free of charge. In addition to free editing, it also includes modifying and redistributing the (modified) variant.

Examples of open-source software are: LibreOffice, VLC Media Player, or GIMP.

Advantages of open-source software

The advantages of open source are obvious:

• Ensure control – as soon as you want changes in the software, you can make adjustments to the code on your own.

• Be on the safe side – because everyone has access to open-source software, possible errors in the code are not only discovered more quickly, but can also be fixed more quickly. Thanks to the dedicated community.

• Fulfill educational purposes – young programmers in particular benefit from freely accessible codes that they can use to strengthen their skills.

Which Actonic apps are open source?

The Actonic open-source apps will no longer be worked on by us. We will stop updating them and open them completely to our customers.
