What is Open Source?
Posted in Open Source
The development process is shared by those that use the application and in most cases there are a group of persons who oversee the development of the core code of the product. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed.
"The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software." Open Source Initiative Website
