Open source licenses affect the way people can use, study, modify, and distribute software. In general, open source licenses grant computer users permission to use open source software for any purpose they wish.
While some open source software may be free of charge, skill in programming and troubleshooting open source software can be quite valuable. This way, programmers make money by helping others install, use, and troubleshoot it.
