\item \label{principle:freesoftware}\textbf{Free and open source software:}
Technically, reproducibility (see \ref{definition:reproduction}) is possible with non-free or non-open-source software (a black box).
- This principle is thus necessary to complement it with these critical points (to the sciences and to industry):
- (1) When the project itself is free software, others can learn-from and build-upon it.
- (2) The lineage, can be traced to a free software's implemented algorithm, also enabling optimizations on that level.

(3) A free-software package that does not execute on particular hardware can be modified to work on it.
(4) A non-free software project typically cannot be distributed by others, making the whole community reliant on the owner's server (even if the owner does not ask for payments).
