# Why is it open source

Momentum is open source as a way for us to give back to the community. By making the source code available, we empower our users to:

* [**View the Source Code**](https://github.com/getmomentum/momentum-core)**:** Understand how Momentum works under the hood.
* **Modify It:** Tailor Momentum to meet their specific needs.
* **Use It Freely:** Integrate Momentum into their projects without restrictions.
* **Contribute:** Improve Momentum by submitting pull requests with their enhancements, benefiting the entire community.

We believe that open collaboration leads to better software and a more vibrant, innovative community. Let's work together to make Momentum the best it can be!
