If you don't know what open source software is..lemme halp!

Wiki defines it as : Open source is a set of principles and practices on how to write software. Literally “open source” means the source code is available to the users. The Open Source Definition, which was created by Bruce Perens[1] and Eric Raymond and is currently maintained by the Open Source Initiative, adds additional meaning to the term. One should not only get the source code but also have the right to use it.

Yardbird defines it this way: FREE baby!
