Don't backseat moderate. If we weren't okay with further discussion, this would already be locked.

Wait isn't craftOS really just something similar to command prompt (Windows), since its not really close to what a real OS is like, and more of a shell. So how could you have the source code of it?

The source code is the code of the program. Every program has source code, whether it be an OS, shell, or something like MS Word.

Yeah but you can easily find the "source code" for craftOS in its .zip folder.

To add on:

The source code is unreadable unless decompiled properly, which could take some time. If something is closed source, this means you must decompile it to see the source code. This is how people protect their material, as well as copyrights and licenses. But technically everything(mostly everything) is covered by copyrights once it is published. Wether it be thoughts, ideas, a script, etc. Anything that is not copyrighted is Public Domain. Meaning anyone is free to use it without citing the source. ComputerCraft is closed source to sum it all up. CraftOS is not, obviously.

Nicely put.

[LordIkol]

if you want to share a great thing you put in the OS with the Community, go to the programs Section and put it there.
If people like they can implement it.

[Lyqyd]

There will not be a new subsection added for that any more than there will be a section added for OSs. Do not bug the admins about it.
