yes and no, so were going to have to bill you.LOL

It depends on what application you use and what the auther released it under. You'll know right away if you use it and have to agree or accept something.

First you have to grasp what open source is, look here-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source

DSL uses application/programs that are made by others, depending on how the person released the program to the community, it might or might not be considered open source. You would have to look at the source package(original) to see how it was released. It's all not somthing you should really be concerned about unless your a purist who only wants to use open source programs or are intending to repackge and do something with it.
