FWIW, I agree pretty exactly with Olin here.  The minimal requirement  
to be "open source" is that you can look at the source, make  
modifications and build it for your own personal or company-internal  
use.  Anything beyond that is extra, and the "standards" for open  
source (like GPL) are indeed onerous...
