Explanation
Linux is a classic example of open-source software (OSS). Open-source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. The Linux kernel, originally developed by Linus Torvalds, is distributed under the GNU General Public License, ensuring it remains free and accessible for collaborative development.
- Microsoft Windows is a proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft; its source code is closed and protected by copyright.
- Adobe Photoshop and CorelDRAW are proprietary graphic design applications. Users must purchase licenses to use them, and they do not have legal access to the underlying source code.
Other common examples of open-source software include the Apache Web Server, Mozilla Firefox, and the Android operating system.
