People have this notion that OSS should be completely free, and that you should be able to do what you want with the source code but that's completely wrong.

You can have an OSS project with the strictest license, where you can't do anything but look at the source code. You can maybe even charge to get a different license still open source, there is a weird mentality when it comes around the term "open source". Way too many myths.
