Historically the open source system was created due to the necessities regarding the production and use of software. The ten principles governing the open source system determine the method and scope of protection of software in this system. Despite the numerous benefits in protection of software through the open source system, the disadvantages are to the extent that the acceptance of this system as a protecting system has been faced with serious doubts.
