Če z »odprto programje« prevajamo angleški izraz »open-source software«, kot 
je definiran na <http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php>, takih 
programov ne moremo uvrščati med odprto programje. Definicija namreč v svoji 
prvi točki zahteva prosto razširjanje.

»The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the 
software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing 
programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a 
royalty or other fee for such sale.«

Programi, o katerih govoriš, po mojem nimajo enostavnega in spevnega imena ne 
v angleščini, ne v slovenščini; opisno ime bi bilo nekako »programje z 
dostopno izvorno kodo«. Ni jih veliko, so pa, meni najbolj znan zgled so 
recimo programi iz zbirke Numerical Recipes, kjer FAQ pravi:

Q: You want to distribute, noncommercially and free on the internet, an 
application that uses NR routines. You need to distribute source code, so 
that your application can be recompiled on different machines. Can you 
include Numerical Recipes routines as part of that source code, including a 
notice that they are only allowed to be used with your application?

A: Sorry, no. We never give permission for Numerical Recipes source code to be 
posted on any public server, or distributed with any freeware or shareware 
package. If you encounter such a distribution, we'd be grateful if you'd tell 
us about it. There are good freely redistributable numerical libraries on 
Netlib that can be used, instead of Numerical Recipes, in such cases. The 
Numerical Recipes Multi-Language Code CDROM includes the entire freely 
redistributable SLATEC library, for this kind of use.

Lep pozdrav, Primož
