... and _that_ is where you are going wrong. "open source" is a licensing term in these contexts. By making source code viewable does not grant one a license to copy it, in the same way that you can't photo copy and distribute a book. An amazing number of people seem to be highly confused by this. This is probably why projects like FreePascal get sideswiped by tainted code on a too frequent basis.
