StarUML was an open source UML tool, licensed under a modified version of GNU GPL. After being abandoned for some time, the project had a last revival to move from Delphi to Java/Eclipse and stop again. However, the community is still active and many topics are discussed on the forums.
The stated goal of the project was to replace larger, commercial applications such as Rational Rose and Borland's Together.
StarUML supports most of the diagram types specified in UML 2.0. It is currently missing object, package, timing and interaction overview diagrams (though the first two can be adequately modeled through the class diagram editor).
StarUML was written in Delphi, which is one of the reasons[1] why it was abandoned for a long time.
