Software that is both open source and proprietary typically falls under dual licensing models. Examples include MySQL, which offers an open-source community edition alongside a proprietary version with additional features, and MongoDB, which provides an open-source version with a commercial license for its advanced offerings. Another example is the Qt framework, which is available under both open-source and commercial licenses, allowing developers to choose based on their project needs. This model allows companies to leverage the benefits of open source while also monetizing their software through proprietary licenses.
I prefer open source software.
no....because an open source software is distributed for free
No. It is open source software.
Linux is an open source software that has not had a detrimental affect on the marketing of proprietary software. Linux is computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open source software development and distribution.

Freeware is computer software that is distributed without charge. Open source is computer software the author of which claims no copyright. There are several ways "open source" is defined, the most popular being GNU. However! Freeware can be copyrighted, and open source can be sold for money.
free to distribute/ update as you require. but people only use it if good, not junk open source ones
Yes it is. It is owned by Microsoft and they do not give access to the source code for the program, unlike open source software programs.
The two fundamental sources for obtaining application software are proprietary software and open-source software. Proprietary software is developed by companies and requires a purchase or license for use, often providing technical support and regular updates. Open-source software, on the other hand, is freely available for use, modification, and distribution, allowing users to customize it to their needs. Both sources offer unique advantages depending on the user's requirements and budget.
· Successful open source systems still rely on a core group who is responsible for the development of software and control changes to the software. · The open source development has the same development procedure like other types of development
Unix is not open source, it is proprietary. Linux is the open-source version of Unix.
proprietary software You need an authorized license paid for in order to use the software. open-source software any body can use, an is usually Free. You can use the software for you personal use. Give a donation is you like it. You are not supposed to change the "code" or modify it.
