German term or phrase: OS hat Vorbehalte ausgelöst
Lizensierung

Open Source hat in der Vergangenheit oft Vorbehalte wegen der damit verbunden Lizensierungsart ausgelöst. Nicht ausschließlich, so aber doch zum großen Teil wird die sog. GNU Public License (GPL) verwendet. Dies gilt etwa für das Linux-Betriebssystem und viele seiner Komponenten. Aber auch Applikationen unterliegen oft der GPL. Die GPL hat, indem sie die freie Nutzung unter Offenlegung der Ergebnisse regelt, viel zum Erfolg von Open Source und der großen Linux Community beigetragen. Zugleich fürchten Firmen aber, durch diese Pflicht der GPL die Quellen der eigenen Software freigeben zu müssen, ohne dies zu wollen, etwa weil diese Software ein wichtiger Teil des schützenswerten Kern-Know-hows der Firma ist.

Open Source has caused reservations


Explanation:
Because "OS" might easily be misread for "operating system" (unless context clarifies) I'd use the long version "open source".
