        OSS/Free:  Also seen as "OSS Lite".  This is what is in the
kernel source.

        OSS/Commercial:  Expanded version of OSS/Free but mainly it
includes drivers whose specs are only available using an NDA.

        ALSA:  Hopefully the replacement of OSS/Free one day?  Alan Cox
plays a big role in ALSA.
