If it’s open source, yes, you can. Open source is a way of developing software that provides transparency to the end-users. They can obtain the source code that makes up the application and review it. They can verify for themselves that it isn’t doing anything sinister or sneaky with their data.
As well as reviewing the source code, users can modify that source code – if they are a programmer – to fix bugs or to add new features. The changes are submitted to the maintainers of the product. If the maintainers like the changes, they will find their way into the product.
This benefits both the users of the open-source application – known as the community – and the developers of the products. The more eyes that review the code, the better.
