  Open-source license - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An open-source license is a copyright license for computer software that makes the source code available under terms that allow for modification and redistribution without having to pay the original author.
There are also shared source licenses which have some similarities with open source, but a number of critical differences make such licenses incompatible with the Open Source Definition.
Software in the public domain (that is, with no copyright license at all), meets those criteria as long as all source code is made available, and is therefore recognized by the OSI and entitled to use their service mark.

 Open Source Initiative OSI - The GPL:Licensing
By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

 OSI Tackles License 'Explosion'
The OSI is a non-profit organization that certifies open source licenses abiding by the 10 criteria of the Open Source Definition for use in the community; currently, there are 58 approved licenses that range from the venerable GPL (define) to the RealNetworks Public Source License.

 LWN: RealNetworks goes open source - sort of
The RPSL is GPLish, in that it includes the usual copyleft provisions: if you distribute a modified version of the code, you must distribute source under the same license.
This license will eventually be submitted to the Open Source Initiative for certification as "open source." It may require some modification first: there are claims, for example, that the jurisdiction and export provisions in section 13.7 make the software non-free.
It is a "shared source" license which will be useful to those building products with RealNetworks code, but it is not particularly exciting for the free software community.
