In software applications, being Open Source usually means the applications' source codes are freely available to any one that wants to have them for whatever reason.

Such sources are often distributed using an OSI-approved license; usually GPL, LGPL or BSD. But other, non-OSI-approved licenses do exist, like the one used for Monkey's Audio sources.
