Snip:
Some of these addons are themselves open source.  The majority of the time
the authors of these are not including the open source license.  Which I
think is legally ok, I'm guessing it actually just creates a dual license,
but not an attorney so not sure on this.

How do you know they are 'open source' if they don't include an open source
license? Are the completely original works, or do they contain works from
others that are distributed under open source licenses?
