Open source licenses grant to the public permissions to do things with licensed works copyright or other "intellectual property" laws might otherwise disallow.
Most open source licenses' grants of permissions are subject to compliance with conditions.
Most open source licenses also have limitations that usually disclaim warranty and liability and sometimes expressly exclude patent or trademark from licenses' grants.
