open-sources
Freely shares code
Open-sources means to release software or other content under a license allowing anyone to view, modify, and distribute the source code.
A company that open-sources its tools makes them freely available to developers: Mozilla open-sourced the Firefox browser.
The practice encourages collaboration and transparency in software development.
