Open Source Initiative, www.opensource.org .

You often hear that a particular licence is "OSI Approved", menaing
that it is on their list of open source licences.

"Open Source" is modern term, technically similar to "Free Software",
though different in the philosophical background; see
http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html
if you are interested in details about this.

Have a nice day,
