Opensource means that they hold an opensource license. This means that unlike such things as windows, which is proprietary, the holder of the license must, amongst other things, make the source code known. You are allowed to make changes to the code, and your own add ons or developments but by doing so you are bound to return the changes, so that the software does not splinter like Unix did. That way if your changes are good, they will be included in the next release.

Regular licenses do not allow such changes.

Oh really, that is kind of cool. So with that said if you were to change it, you wouldn't get in trouble or anything if you were to change something about the code. So what were they saying about violating terms.

This is similiar to the free scripts thingy. You get a turnkey script and then you end up not uniwue any more. It to me, is pointless I wouldn't waste my time with them.
