'''Open source''' refers to a software [[licences|licence]] where source code access is regulated by set of published principles. There are many such licenses. [[Free software]] is open source with '''added restrictions''' on the copyright, that cannot be revoked without violating the license under which you originally acquired the code. The most notable of these added restrictions is the [[required reintegration]] clause. [[Consortium license]]s may be open source or not or mixed so that "members" have [[source code access]] and others do not. A [[Green software license]] probably would not qualify, as it would restrict unpaid use to [[Green purposes]] and might forbid some uses entirely. [[Shared source]] is not open source, as it is controlled tightly by one vendor, e.g. [[Microsoft]].
