Proprietary/Copy-right: The code is ours - pay money to get binaries.
Copy-left: The code is ours, free for everyone to use. If you make changes,
           the changes should also be free for everyone to use.
Copy-center: The code is ours, free for everyone to use. Do what you want 
             with it, including making proprietary changes.

The last two qualify as open source licenses.
