I typically se a lot of apps or websites day they are open source. I have wondered what stops someone from using the code from creating a competitor to the original? Are there different levels to open source? By this I mean do they only allow a specific amount of code to be looked at and if so, how do they delegate who sees what?

Mostly there just isn’t a point in doing so. Someone’s already taken the time to build the thing, why invest the effort in pretending you built it instead? Especially when it’s all public record and anyone who cared could verify that someone else built it originally.
