I find it interesting that everyone is assuming that "open source" means free.
It doesn't. I'm in a Linux+ Certification class and we had to watch a movie about the history of Linux (et all). In the movie the people who actually came up with the phrase "open source", said it doesn't mean free. It means the source is open for all to see. The licensing model determines whether it costs... Or if you can make changes and re-distribute it.

By definition it's free to use and modify. I could see how someone could try and re-brand it as their own.....but steal??? Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
