[article] Linux Jargon Buster: What is FOSS (Free and Open Source Software)? What is Open Source?

What does FOSS in It’s FOSS mean? What is FOSS?
I have been asked this question numerous time in the past. It was about time that I explained what is FOSS in Linux and the software world.
The distinction is important because FOSS is a generic world and it could mean different depending on the context. Here, I am discussing the FOSS principle in software.
What is FOSS?FOSS means Free and Open Source Software. It doesn’t mean software is free of cost. It means that source code of the software is open for all and anyone is free to use, study and modify the code. This principle allows other people to contribute to the development and improvement of a software like a community.
