  2. What is an open-source POS software? • It is a type of POS software solution that allows anyone to study, modify, and distribute the application. • The code of the software is available to public. • The software is created in a decentralized way and is managed by a community. • Its open license grants anybody the right to reengineer the software however they like.

  3. Risks associated with open-source POS software • Security flaws are public knowledge • Inadequate security instructions • Licensing issues • Difficult support • Lack of accountability

  4. Security flaws are public knowledge • Any gaps in security is known to the public. • Delays in updating open-source software applications can leave your sensitive data vulnerable to hacks. • Software community members may have unrestricted access to all your information.

  5. Inadequate security instructions • Open-source software may or may not have in-built security features. • Open-source developers do not take responsibility for security breaches. • Open-source systems do not come with clear instructions on how to set up security.

  6. Licensing issues • Open-source software applications do not provide any warranties. • Software features may stop working without any prior notice. • Using the software without knowing that it breaches intellectual property rights can land you in legal trouble.

  7. Difficult support • Reaching out for support can be difficult as multiple disparate creators develop the software. • You will need to contact developers of specific features to resolve issues. • Only popular open-source software applications have helpful support to some extent.

  8. Lack of accountability • Open-source software developers do not take accountability for the failure of components unlike closed-source developers. • Different features of open-source software may not interact with one another effectively. • Incompatibility of software modules is an issue.
