Vamsee, Arvind: I really don't know what a definition of Open Source

Then I guess you're talking about free software, which as you said,
happens to be different from open-source software.

On a stronger note, how on earth is it ethical for a developer
to claim IP over code whose sizeable portion is not his/her own, and
is available freely.

If the guy improves upon it? If he adds new features? Who does that IP
belong to?

Vamsee.
