Twas brillig at 14:18:26 26.01.2010 UTC-05 when Aldon.Hynes at Orient-Lodge.com did gyre and gimble:

 AH> Software can be free, but not open source.  (e.g. anyone can download the
 AH> software, but they can't download the source)
 AH> Software can be Open Source, but not free (This is rare, but can happen.
 AH> You have to pay for a license to run the software, but you can view the
 AH> source used to create it)

Stop it.
