Open source software is safe to modify.
Depending on the open source license used by a software, it may or may not be necessary to release the source code of the modified to your users. In the case of GPL, any changes that you make still belongs to you and you can prevent other people from using the portion that you have created as long as you don't distribute the modified program. If you do distribute the modified program, you are bound by the gpl to make available the source code to people who uses your software. BSD license is even less restrictive, you can go as far as using their source code to make closed software. |

QUOTE(VinluV @ Jan 6 2009, 09:21 PM) what open source software do u mean here??If it is the PGP software, u can go the pgpi.com for this software you have to ask them to send it to you their source codes. So far, i only focused on security software like this PGP or GPG (www.gnupg.org) yeah, u can try linux OS as well, all their software mostly are open source. i am using ubuntu now. |
