It enables the unlimited tuning and improvement of a software product, by whoever is best at the job. To really extend the lifetime of an application, it must be available in source form. Source code availability also makes it much easier to isolate bugs, and (for a programmer) to fix them.

The right to redistribute modifications and improvements to the code, and to reuse other open source code, permits all the advantages due to the modifiability of the software to be shared by large communities.

The right to use the software in any way.

This in turn helps to improve the quality of the product
