open source applications with closed source components

I have an application whose source code is available under a BSD 
license.  It contains 4 frameworks.  2 are open source under BSD.  2 are 
closed source, but I have permission to distribute them freely with my 
app.

Does my application conform to the OSI definition of open source?  Also, 
how should I let people know that it contains both open source and 
proprietary code?

Thanks,
Edwin
