Open-source

According to the project's home page, JOP isn't free for commercial use. So, it's not fair to call it Open source.--Ring0 08:07, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is the source open to the public? Software can be open source without being free.` — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 08:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
According to the Open Source Definition by OSI [1], "open source" is just another term for "free software" (this definition conforms well to the one of "free software"). I suggest that this should be clarified in the article (e.g., mention that the source is available, but the software isn't free for commercial users).--Ring0 06:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And OSI is the authority to define the meaning of "open source"? Schoeberl 23:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
