Bash? Opensource?
I'm currently writing a paper about the merits of Python as a complete replacement for Bash.
Sources suggest that bash isnt opensource, but they do not actually say that the source is closed, they only state that it i very much controlled?
Can anybody tell me if bash is open or closed so that i may conclude my report.
(No this is not homework, just wish to publish a paper)
