What is Open Source?

Open Source is a set of principles and practices that promote access to the production and design process applied to the source code of software. This allows the software to be available to the general public with relaxed or non-existent intellectual property restrictions. For the website owner thinking about Content Management Systems, this means that the software which will be used to create and manage your site is free for your use and readily available. The cost you can plan on is 1) the customization (your look, your graphics, your logo, etc) and 2) the monthly hosting fee to the host of your choice. To read more about Open Source click here:
