By the OSD definition, though, some limitations can be placed on your redistribution of the open source software you purchase. For example, I could write a DLL, and provide you with the source of the DLL when you buy it, and you could redistribute that source with your own program. I could, however, restrict you from simply selling or giving away the source by itself.
