The answer is in the question itself. Open-source software has it's source code available to everyone. Closed-source software does not.
Open source software is designed to do exactly what its closed source (paid software) counterpart is to do. Open Office for example is free to use and does the same thing as Microsoft office that costs hundreds.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the close source software ?
Software can be categorized as:Closed Source : Source code is not available for general publicOpen Source : Source code is available for general public to seeNote that availability of the source code does not mean that the software is completely free. It is still possible that an Open Source Software is specifically licensed, for example to allow free use but not for free redistribution. On the other hand, it is also possible that a Closed Source Software is allowed to be use and distributed for free.

There's many answers to this question. Divisions can be made on the basis of: 1. Open source versus closed source 2. Business software versus Private/Home software 3. Embedded software versus Computer software 4. Infrastructure software versus applications software
Open source software has the full source code of the software available for other users to inspect, help improve and build upon. Closed source software does not make the source code of the software available to the public.
Legally, only the company or the developer of the software can do that. However, somebody might illegally make "a new version" of it
