Open source ≠ Source availiable

Example of non open source programs with source code https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proprietary_source-available_software

Open source inherently means you can compile the code locally, for free. You can’t necessarily redistribute it, depending on the license, but I’m not aware of a “you can compile this source for testing and code changes only but if you use it as your actual copy you are infringing” license.

I am very much open to correction here.

Free as in free speech, not as in free beer

I know where the hops go, but where am I supposed to put the cereal ? I think I ruined my disc drive

Floppy drive. That’s why you malt it first.
