Jitsi and its source code are released under the terms of the Apache Software Licence.

The open-source model is a decentralized development model that encourages open collaboration.

A main principle of open-source software development is peer production, with products such as source code, blueprints, and documentation freely available to the public.

The open-source movement in software began as a response to the limitations of proprietary code.

The model is used for projects such as in open-source appropriate technologies, and open-source drug discovery.

Videoconferencing (VC) is the conduct of a videoconference (also known as a video conference or videoteleconference) by a set of telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to communicate by simultaneous two-way video and audio transmissions.

It has also been called 'visual collaboration' and is a type of groupware.

The World Wide Web (abbreviated WWW or the Web) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet.

English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989.

He wrote the first web browser computer program in 1990 while employed at CERN in Switzerland.

The Web browser was released outside of CERN in 1991, first to other research institutions starting in January 1991 and to the general public on the Internet in August 1991.

In computing, a server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "clients".

This architecture is called the client–server model, and a single overall computation is distributed across multiple processes or devices.

Servers can provide various functionalities, often called "services", such as sharing data or resources among multiple clients, or performing computation for a client.

A single server can serve multiple clients, and a single client can use multiple servers.

A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server on a different device.

Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
