<p><b>Source-available software</b> is <a href="Software" title="Software">software</a> released through a <a href="Source_code" title="Source code">source code</a> distribution model that includes arrangements where the source can be viewed, and in some cases modified, but without necessarily meeting the criteria to be called <i><a href="Open-source_software" title="Open-source software">open-source</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-dod_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dod-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The licenses associated with the offerings range from allowing code to be viewed for reference to allowing code to be modified and redistributed for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
