Regarding open source but not quite free - have a look at METIS:

METIS is not open source nor free. If you forbid commercial use, you

are neither.

Metis _is_ open source. I _do_ download it and build it from source. Download URLs:

http://www.netlib.org/linalg/metis-4.0.tar.gz
http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/fetch/sw/metis/metis-5.0.2.tar.gz

, etc.

You do _not_ have monopoly defining what freedom is.

Regarding open source, I think Jordi is correct.
