We've been arguing about this on the Bnet bot dev forum for a while -- I'd like to see what everyone says about this.  :)

QuoteEvery generation of humans believed it had all the answers it needed, except for a few mysteries they assumed would be solved at any moment. And they all believed their ancestors were simplistic and deluded. What are the odds that you are the first generation of humans who will understand reality?

After 3 years, it's on the horizon.  The new JinxBot, and BN#, the managed Battle.net Client library.

"No license required" sounds like public domain.  Being open source and being public domain are not mutually exclusive, but they are also not the same thing.

"Jargon File (4.3.0, 30 APR 2001)"
open source n. common; also adj. `open-source' Term coined in March
  1998 following the Mozilla release to describe software distributed in
  source under licenses guaranteeing anybody rights to freely use, modify,
  and redistribute, the code. The intent was to be able to sell the
  hackers' ways of doing software to industry and the mainstream by
  avoiding the negative connotations (to suits) of the term "free
  software". For discussion of the follow-on tactics and their
  consequences, see the Open Source Initiative (http://www.opensource.org)
  site.
