Code For Everyone

Open-source projects have changed the world, even for the people who do not know what open-source means. Very few people besides software developers and hackers use open-source software or operating systems, but such software has forced mainstream computer software companies to change their own software to implement many of the beneficial aspects that developers freely give to others through open-source code. Free software that is accessible and editable by everyone will continue to grow in power and popularity, but it will never be as widely used as purchased software.
