I understand what you are saying, but the reality is that there may be 
many different licenses involved. As a matter of fact, this has been the 
subject of recent debate over at Joomla, specifically in relation to 
commercial software or "modules/extensions" being used with Joomla.

One of the primary ideas of Open Source software is just this, that the 
SOURCE is open and available for anybody to look at. You should be able 
to download open source software, look at the code itself, and clearly 
see which license it is distributed under.
