Castle and RISC OS Open have revealed the details of their 'shared source' licence - which is hoped to encourage coders to download and improve the ARM-based operating system. The wording of the licence has drawn mixed reactions, and the first batch of RISC OS source code is expected to be released tomorrow.

Castle's RISC OS Open Licence is a first step. At the first time even Solaris and Darwin had their own specific licences, but the successes pushed Sun and Apple to change them in more open definitions.
Time will tell us. :-)

Sadly, I don't think there are enough people out there who would put pressure on Castle/ROOL to change the license in the same way pressure was put on Apple and Sun.
