What is open source?

The dictionary definition of open source is:

	denoting software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified.
	--New Oxford American Dictionary

While there are no license fees associated with Drupal, the most important part is the fact that you are free to modify and extend the code base to meet your own needs.

Open source means that you can also see the full history of the code—you can see when changes were made, for what reason, and by whom. There is no "black box" technology—everything is open for you to investigate if you desire to.

Abbott

Nick Abbott is the head of training at iKOS. Nick started his digital life in 1981 working on an ICL 2904 mainframe, a Commodore PET, and a Commodore VIC20. After the ritual stint in BASIC, he moved on to writing games in Z80 and 6502 assemblers, hardware interfacing, and many happy hours creating business solutions with the BBC Micro based around the Acorn View family. Old but not obsolete. He graduated with a first class degree in applied physics in the late 1980s, and he worked in IT and education right up until he joined iKOS in 2008.
