It means that there are over 600 versions available.

It means that it comes with unlimited support.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

It means that anyone can view, copy and then change the source code.

"Open source" refers to software for which the original source code is made available to the public, allowing anyone to study, modify, and distribute the software. While many open source projects are free to use, the term "open source" primarily relates to the accessibility of the source code rather than cost.
