   Does anyone know if it is “open-source” (with hyphen) or "open source” (no hyphen)?

   Which is correct? I never know.

   This wiki article uses both. 🙃

     If we’re being pedantic, I’d say it would be hyphenated if and only if it’s used an adjective (“contribute to open source,” “an open-source project”).
