The open source movement was a cash grab to make the free software movement more palatable to big corp by moving away from copy left licenses. The MIT license is perfectly open source and means that you can buy software without ever seeing its code.

If you obtain open source licensed software you can pass it on legally (and freely). With some licenses you also have to provide the source code.
