OpenSource is most definitely NOT the opposite.
you CAN take components from OSS and enchance other software with them!
if you're going to hand out definitions, do it right, and don't spread the idea that FS has nothing in common with OSS.
OpenSource software:
-- must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.
-- must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form.
-- shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources.
