Remember the quote from that Red Hat survey
0:03
Enterprises are choosing open source
0:05
not because it's cheaper
0:07
although sometimes it is
0:08
but because it's genuinely better software.
0:11
And that is largely true
0:13
and of course Python is open sourced
0:15
which gives it some many of these benefits.
0:18
We saw that you go over to github, github.com/python/cpython
0:22
and you can fork or just download python
0:25
and guess what, you have full control over it.
0:27
The license gives you permission to do that.
0:29
But remember it's not just Python it's the ecosystem.
0:33
We saw those 206,000 packages on pypi.org.
0:36
Almost every single one of those is open source.
0:40
In fact, I can't think of one that is not
0:42
although out of that many there probably are.
0:44
Obviously, I haven't looked and read the details
0:46
about every single one.
0:47
It's not just Python, the main thing is open source
0:50
but the bigger huge version of Python
0:53
the level three of Python
0:54
when you think about it that itself is also open source
0:57
so, open source across the board.
