Programmers may redistribute and modify the code, as long as they don't collect royalties on their work or deny access to their code. Since development is not restricted to a single corporation more programmers can debug and improve the source code faster..) is a basic set of instructions for running the computer that acts as a platform on which other programs run.

Application Software:
