The term 'código aberto' is the literal translation, though many Brazilian tech professionals use the English term directly. In Portugal and among European tech communities, 'software livre' (free software) is often preferred. The open-source movement has significant cultural importance in both Brazil and the USA as a symbol of technological democratization and community collaboration.
