Open-source software provides the four freedoms, but doesn't necessarily require preserving them transitively. GPL software requires preserving them transitively and requires derivative works using the licensed software as a component to provide them. MPL requires preserving them transitively. BSD/Apache/MIT don't require preserving them, but still require the resulting software to include the original license & attribution. In the case of a closed-source program distributing (say) MIT-licensed software with proprietary modifications, the resulting binary is still released partly under the MIT license & includes the MIT license text, but doesn't include the source code. |
