Now, what "Free software" we typically see in the windows world is "free" as in cost and not as in "freedom". You _dont_ have the freedom to see its source let alone modify it. There are plenty of Open Source Apps in the windows world too.
BUT Open Source software gives you the "freedom" to modify them but they can also be sold at a price > $0 which means you need to *pay* for the software _and_ you'll get the source along with it.
That applies to GPL but does it apply to all open source licenses or even most of them? I think not based on a link in an eariler message. Please correct me if I have misunderstood. I don't have much knowledge in these licenses. Never read even one of them properly.
