Softwares are divided into two broad categories; one is the
open source software while the other one is the paid source software. In this
article, we will do an analysis of each of them. Here you
go:
-
Open source software
In this software, the developer gives the license to copy
the content of software and use it without any fee. It is therefore legal to
use this type of software. Not only is this, but in this software, others can
also modify the software but this modification should be made in the source
code. Besides this, in the open source software, users work collaboratively and
they share the ideas. This environment actually helps in fixing the bugs. Such
softwares are also called as “free licensing software”.
-
Paid source software
In contrary to the open source software, there is paid
source software. As the name defines, this software demands license to use.
Thus, one has to pay the fee foe using this software. These paid softwares
provide the additional benefit and are much more secure than the ones, which
are free to use. Renowned companies are earning huge profits through these
softwares.
As a conclusion, both of these softwares have their own
importance and demand in the corporate sector. That software that are
specifically designed for core business activities and have multiple benefits
are in demand even if they require hefty budgets for buying the license. On the
other hand, open source softwares are also well known for their easy to use functions
and in small business where the budget is usually low. It has been observed
that the corporate sector is looking for more privacy and optimum quality; due
to this reason, paid softwares are expected to expand in the future.
