Yes, you can modify anything in the jOOQ Open Source Edition under the
terms of the Apache Software License 2.0:

There is no difference.

To learn more about what "Open Source" means, I suggest reading relevant
articles on Wikipedia, for instance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software

Note that people may understand "Open Source" differently. The ideological
notion of "Open Source" wants software to remain "free" (as in freedom:
"Libre"). More pragmatic approaches (like our own) think of "Open Source"
to be "free" (as in beer: "Gratis"). In fact, jOOQ is something in between
"Gratis" and "Libre". The difference is explained here:

Hope this helps,
Lukas
