Another misunderstanding of &ldquo;open source&rdquo; is the idea that it means &ldquo;not using the GNU GPL.&rdquo; This tends to accompany another misunderstanding that &ldquo;free software&rdquo; means &ldquo;GPL-covered software.&rdquo; These are both mistaken, since the GNU GPL qualifies as an open source license and most of the open source licenses qualify as free software licenses. There are  many free software licenses aside from the GNU GPL.
