What is the difference between an “open system” and an open source system?

What will be an ideal response?


An “open system” implements an interface (to users or other programs) that is well documented
and adheres to standards such that others can easily write software to interoperate or share data
with it. An open source system allows others to freely use the source code for their own purposes
or even to modify the code to suit their needs.
