You are probably referring to the fact that it is OPEN SOURCE, meaning that it is free and easily attainable. Source code is what programmers use to write programs. Open in this case means that anyone is free to examine the source code, modify the program, and even distribute their modifications, providing the license terms are followed. The terms usually include things such as keeping the GNU license intact with the distribution, and making any modified source code available under the same terms as the original program.
