What is Open Source?
At Proverbs, we consider open source software to be any application that may be used freely by anyone,
without charge or royalty, that includes full disclosure of uncompiled source code.
Why Open Source?
Open Source allows for the sharing and expansion of ideas and concepts between many developers. By allowing
other software authors to use, modify or redistribute an application (or piece of source code) the
application has a chance to evolve at a faster rate and possibly produce new technology altogether. Open
Source is also a learning tool, if it wasn't for the sharing of source code many developers would have
never made it out of the gate, including us here at Proverbs. So this is our chance to give something
back.
Limitations
You may freely use, distribute, modify or derive new works from all the Open Source programs produced and
distributed by Proverbs, without cost or royalty, provided the following conditions are maintained: 1) all
copyright and/or trademark notifications remain intact, 2) credit is given to the original author(s) for
their work, 3) any stipulations placed on or within any piece of individual source code is maintained.
Proverbs does not warrant or provide support for any of the applications provided in Open Source form.
