Answer by anon for Does open source qualify as being part of the public domain?

No, in places that have a concept of "public domain" that normally means "without copyright". However, Open Source Software generally means software which is licensed in such a way that it may be used freely (free as in freedom / libre, monetary cost has nothing to do with it). However, for something to be licensed it must still be under copyright (the license is just a limited grant of rights, but does not give you full rights to do whatever you want).
