Remember: Open source means anyone can read, use and improve the code. A license says the rules, and credit goes to the people who helped.

Read and answer

Read the story, then answer.

The click in the sound toolThe robot club's game has great sound effects, so Mina asks who made the sound tool. Mr. Reyes says strangers made it and gave it away for anyone to use. He compares it to Nana's soup recipe. She shared the card with her whole street, one neighbor added garlic, another added a note about salt, and everyone's soup got better. Each person signed their change. Open source means the code is out in the open, where anyone can read it. The tool's page has its code, a thank-you list and a license, which is the rules for using it. Mina hears a click at the start of a sound. With Mr. Reyes beside her, she writes a clear note about what happened, and leaves out her real name. A volunteer called Priya fixes it, and a week later a new version plays smooth, with no click.
