OSS - How it remains successful?

Most of the OSS is a merged version of the contributed code. This is what that makes OSS of great quality. Anyone can contribute to OSS by creating their code and giving it to the company which is later copied to the main respiratory.

A review of OSS

It is a good idea and it remains like a option for poor people. It can be accessed by anyone. There is no need to pay any money but you can do anything with that software from documentation to video editing all can be done using OSS. The only disadvantage of OSS is that it is not implemented properly i.e. it is not as simple as to download and other software. This is a good idea that does require development.

Thanks!!!
