[[[wikipedia:Open source|Open source]] project gives you many freedoms with respect to the program. The most essential is a right to '''fork'''. E.g. change, re-use and distribute your own modifications to original program. [[Open source]] movement as a whole is in opposition against closed source - e.g. programs distributed with some kind of restrictions on end users or re-distributors.

There seem to be two main streams inside [[Open source]]:
# [[GPL]] like one - e.g. you have right to '''fork''' and your work needs to give right to '''fork''' to anyone else
# [[wikipedia:Apache_foundation|Apache]], BSD, etc. - you have right to '''fork''' and you can do what you want with the result

[[NetBeans]] project falls into the second category and it helps the wide spread re-use of [[NetBeans Platform]]. On the other hand, [[GPL]] licensing also has its benefits as project [[Netbinox]] shows.
