Why does matter?

⭐ Accessing the code, allows us to read it, understand it, and to argue in favour of a potential improvement.

⭐ Being able to to edit the code, encourages innovation, competition and autonomy. We can change parts of a program and publish the changes, benefiting users and developers.

⭐ Developers can cooperate closely and form communities around software that fits their needs. Software is used in a non- exclusive way, and serves the public good. (2/4)
