Public domain software, particularly open source software, stems from the Free Software movement of the early days of computing. While proprietary software (such as Microsoft products) can be expensive and slow to adapt, open source software is freely distributed, and updates are essentially crowdsourced. Applications can be customized for a particular industry or individual at no cost.
