    Free Open Source Software. It is software that gives you the freedom to see the source code, make modifications to it, and redistribute your changed version of the software to your friends.

    FOSS software is generally developed in the open by a community of volunteers, although we are increasingly seeing FOSS projects take on funding from community donations or corporations that want to support the software’s development.

    You can read more about it on the Free Software Foundation page: https://www.fsf.org/about/
