I don't know. I'm no open source expert, but I do know the words "open
source" mean, plain and simply, "source that is 'open' -- i.e.,
available to the public". The words "open source" doesn't literally
apply any concept of borrowing or reuse, but perhaps the words have
grown additional (implied) meanings over time, just like so many other
words/phrases in the English language.
