Best answer

1. Proprietary software: Proprietary software is a kind of software for which ownership remains with the creator under copyright provisions. 

Open-Source Software (OSS) is software for which source code is open. 

2. Proprietary software: The owner or proprietor provides a license to the user for using its applications on specific terms and conditions. Users are not given the right to open, modify or further distribute the source code of such software. 

Open-Source Software: The users are granted a license to use, study, modify, and redistribute it. Such software is usually the product of the professionals' collective efforts to provide free customisation as per the user's need. 

3. Proprietary software: For example, LIBSYS, VIRTUA, TRUDAN, etc. 

Open-Source Software: For example, KOHA, New Gen Lib, ABCD, etc, are a few opensource LAS available worldwide.
