Basically Free and Open Source Software are software that you can download and use for Free. And if you happen to be a Software Programmer, you are in for a treat. As you can “open” the program and modify it as you want. Being an open source software, the guys/institution that provides it also gives the source code. Which is like a key to unlock the program, in order to upgrade, modify, or simply fix a few bugs.
If its free then how can anyone earn from creating it?
Many of programmers out there do it just to express their support. But there are a few ways to earn though if not many. One of them is through support of ads, Google, Facebook are good examples of that.
A bit of history:
Richard Stallman began the idea of FOSS back in the early 1980s.
In India, the Kerala state government has shown their support for FOSS. It first-ever free software conference in India, “Freedom First!”, held in July 2001 in Trivandrum. Where Richard Stallman inaugurated the Free Software Foundation of India.
