Source-available software
open-in-new
<p>Source-available software is <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> released through a <a href="/facts/Source_code/o9J6Jv23">source code</a> distribution model that includes arrangements where the source can be viewed, and in some cases modified, but without necessarily meeting the criteria to be called <i><a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source</a></i>. The licenses associated with the offerings range from allowing code to be viewed for reference to allowing code to be modified and redistributed for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. </p>
