By using an open source license, the program code remains available for others to use and distribute, but with certain conditions specified in the license. This ensures that the code is not converted into proprietary software without the knowledge and consent of the original author. A nondisclosure clause and patent protection would not prevent the redistribution of the code as proprietary software.
