It is the opposite of [[open source]]. This type of software usually forbids:<br /> * Examining the source code (computer code)<br /> * Modifying the program<br /> * Redistributing the program<br /> A closed source license may place arbitrary restrictions on the program, including [[DRM]], [[copy protection]], and planned obsolescence.
