"open source" is much to wide, there is no general rule except RT(F)M,=20
or in this case: read the license, and if you want to be extra safe have=20
it read by a (software knowledgable) lawyer *in your jurisdiction*.

 From my knowledge the implications for your product can be=20
(non-exhaustive):
- you *must* provide the sources with it
- you must provide a way to get the soures (paying a reasonable fee is OK)
- you must display some info
- you are not allowed to use it in a commercial product at all
- any of the above, but alternatively you must pay a license
- any of the above, and in addition you must pay a license
- no consequences at all
