Abstract

Open-Source Software (OSS) can be defined as application or tools that is developed by its own community. The idea of OSS development comes from Richard Stallman where stands the freedom of using software for free. After successfully launched The GNU project, Richard Stallman established Free Software Foundation to fight the big technology companies from monopolize the tech-economy during that time. As results, many OSS (e.g., Apache, Linux OS, etc.) are developed and still being used till today. Nowadays, OSS covers many sectors such as software development, 3D rendering, mobile applications, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and many more. This paper will review the basic information of OSS along with its history, Advantages and disadvantages of OSS, the impact of OSS to the industries and AI as well as its challenges.
