Open Source Technology

Open Source Technology is a type of software where the source code is released under a license granting anyone the rights to view, modify, and distribute it for any purpose. Coursera's Open Source Technology catalogue equips you with the understanding and skills to utilize and contribute to open source projects. You'll learn about the principles and philosophies of open source, how to navigate and participate in the open source community, and the legal and ethical considerations. This knowledge will enable you to leverage open source tools, libraries, and frameworks in your software projects, contribute to open source development, and even start your own open source projects.
