Glossary of open source
Open source software: Any computer program with accessible source code. Anyone is legally and technically able to change and/or redistribute the software. Unlike free software, the source code can be included in future closed source software. Open source is a controversial term that is still being defined.

General Public Licence: GPL is a specific implementation of copyleft. This is analogous to copyright law, in which there is a general right that is implemented in various ways in different contracts and print and electronic publications. GPL prohibits proprietary patents related to modifications of the software, prohibits royalties, and requires that the same terms be attached when redistributing the software or a derivative of it.

Creative Commons: An organization that has defined an alternative to copyrights by filling in the gap between full copyright, in which no use is permitted without permission, and public domain, where permission is not required at all. Creative Commons' licenses let people copy and distribute the work under specific conditions, and general descriptions, legal clauses and HTML tags for search engines are provided for several license options.

Source code: The source code consists of the programming statements that are created by a programmer with a text editor or a visual programming tool and then saved in a file. The object code file contains a sequence of instructions that the processor can understand but that is difficult for a human to read or modify. For this reason and because even debugged programs often need some later enhancement, the source code is the most permanent form of the program.

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

La liberté d'exécuter le programme, pour n'importe quel usage (liberté 0).
La liberté d'étudier le fonctionnement du programme et de l'adapter à vos besoins (liberté 1). Accéder au code source est une condition pour cela.
La liberté de redistribuer des copies pour aider votre prochain (liberté 2).
La liberté d'améliorer le programme et de rendre publiques vos améliorations pour que toute la communauté en bénéficie (liberté 3). Accéder au code source est une condition pour cela.
