Well the very original meaning of open source as various parties agreed on the term in April, 1998. It did not grant the right to distribute or redistribute (possibly modified) open source libraries as part of your program. Then the meaning changed shortly after it, and they switched to the Debian social contract. (As far as I could gather.)
