Not so in the case of some free software licenses falling under the
open-source label.

For example, NeXT lifted the work of the CMU Mach group and made
a modified version proprietary for years.

Swarm is licensed under the GNU General Public License which prevents
proprietary variants.  All derived works of Swarm must be freely
redistributable.  This is assuming they are distributed -- of course the
GPL preserves the users right to privacy, too..
