Open source or open-source, most commonly refers to:

• Open-source license
• Open-source model
• Open-source software

Open source, most commonly refers to an open-source license, open-source model, or open-source software, denotes that a product includes permission to use its source code, design documents, or content. (See open content regarding non-software products and services, or when distinctions between source code and other content is unclear or complex).

Open source may also refer to:

As software

• Free and open-source software, or (FOSS) or (FLOSS), is openly shared source code that is licensed without any restrictions on usage, modification, or distribution

Free/Libre refers to freedom not the price and "free and open" should not to be confused with public ownership, deprivatization, or anti-privatization, nor transparency.

  See also: The antithesis of open science is Scientism, a blind faith in profit driven proprietary (closed) science and marketing (ie. proprietary software, proprietary protocols, fields of private biomedical engineering, biological patents, chemical patents (drugs), minimal sufficiency of disclosure, etc.) .

  Open science uses the scientific method as a process of open discovery of shared verifiable knowledge, whereas proprietary science is privately developed by corporations and organizations yet their "scientific" processes and research are not publicly shared (or are obscured behind paywalls or published in expensive private journals), therefore unverifiable as legitimate forcing the public to have "faith" in their privatized science and "trust" that rigorous studies have been and are conducted, proper precautions taken, adequate warnings given, and that the results are beneficial to individuals, society, and the environment - as well as serving their private shareholders. Further, we are supposed to "believe" all of the profit driven marketing, media hype, and propaganda, not to mention the political lobbyists (a soft term for legalized bribery), and trust we are getting the best technology, drugs, medical care, and environmental stewardship while corporate monopolies safely and honestly earn their profits in a world where corporate corruption and status quo war profiteering are business as usual. This obscured or blind faith in corporate science is called Scientism.

  The corporate media based Wikipedia definition of scientism falls far too short of expressing significant skepticism in establishment proprietary "science", medicine, and technology: "Scientism is an ideology that promotes science as the purportedly objective means by which society should determine normative and epistemological values. The term scientism is generally used critically, pointing to the cosmetic application of science in unwarranted situations not amenable to application of the scientific method or similar scientific standards." Sad. Bigly sad.
