Open Source Software
'Open source software (OSS) is defined as computer software for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that meets the Open Source Definition or that is in the public domain. This permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms. It is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner.'
Definition from Wikipedia
More and more these days open source applications are becoming popular and widely accepted alternatives to the big boys. Microsoft Office is giving way to Open Office and Google Docs; Gimp and Splashup are viable alternatives to Photoshop. When you're first setting up in business, they're an excellent way to save money without breaking piracy laws. Many modern open source applications are online so there's no software to install on your computer.
