Open source vs. Free source
"Open source represents the same kind of problem for Oracle.
Oracle, of course, also has an open source strategy, which includes
free downloads of code, and it's a strategy, not a giveaway."

No, open source is not downloading code for free (that's free
source). Open souce means you can modify that code to your
liking, while adhering to its license (let it be GPL, BSD or whatever).
