//Closed source soup is served ready to eat in a bowl at the table by a waiter. Maybe not exactly what you want, but it fits your needs.//

That's exactly right. With restaurants you get the convenience of being able to eat a delicious meal quickly, but you pay the price and the meal may not be exactly how you like it. With open source, on the other hand, you get to choose: you can go to a restaurant or you can make the soup yourself, or you can find a solution somewhere in between. The key word is //choice//.

 * then they decided to go open source**

what does that mean?

so where can you edit it? check []

We've always strived to be as open and transparent with our users as possible, and this is the next logical step. When we say 'open-source' we mean specifically that the code behind reddit is available to the public for download, and we're inviting the public to submit code to help improve the site. Reddit is unique in the social news scene in that we have a huge community of developers. It seems only natural that we give you all in that community a chance to contribute back to reddit and make it a better place for everyone. We know reddit's success has less to do with our technology than it does with you, our community, and now we want to let our community improve our technology.

Red Hat partly operates on a [|professional open-source] [|business model] based on open code, community development, professional quality-assurance services, and subscription-based [|customer support]. Developers take the open source [|Linux kernel] and adapt and improve it to fit certain needs. They produce open-source code, so more programmers can make further adaptations and improvements. When a problem emerges, an entire community of users can come together to find a solution. Red Hat sells subscriptions for the support, training, and integration services that help customers in using the open source software. Customers pay one set price for access to services such as Red Hat Network and up to 24x7 support, and they receive unlimited access to these services.
