There was a conversation the other day on this, but I forget the exact details.

Open sign up is nothing is required to let you sign up.

Closed is obviously invite only/manually must be accepted.

But there's the middle ground that wasn't technically open sign up, where the only requirements are filling out a captcha, and usually email verification.
