The title of this question says it all: I'm interested in writing a Nest client, but I'd like to make it open source.
Is this permitted under the Nest developer agreement?
This isn't prohibited, but you need to be very careful with how OAuth is handled. Posting sensitive information (for example client secrets) will likely get those clients suspended.
That said, there are sample applications published as open source on the Nest Developer Program site itself https://developer.nest.com/docs/topics/sample-code, you just need to create your own client to plug in to the samples.

I see appharbor is very promising alternative to windows azure. Are all the applications created there for trial are open source by default? If yes does deleting the application also deletes the source code.
No, you can use AppHarbor for free and keep your source code private.

I've been looking at OpsCode's Chef, which seems pretty cool. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered useful tools?
The classic is cfengine. It's been around forever.
CFEngine has indeed been around forever, but the newest version (CFEngine 3) is a complete rewrite from previous versions. The policy language in CF3 is redesigned to make it more consistent and extensible. There's also now, if you are so inclined, a commercial version that has a nice graphical user interface and other enhancements.
There's a whole lot of information about CFEngine at http://cfengine.com/tech
(disclaimer: I work at CFEngine AS)

Is mysql license needed for sites like facebook, twitter etc.. i dont know which category they fall into. thats why.
No, they can use GPL which is freely available. They would need to make Software that links to MySQL like a library or is even based on MySQL GPL, too, but as far as I know, they are not doing any of that. Even if, the GPL would force them to pass on the source code to anyone to whom they give the binary. Since they are not giving away the binary to anyone, there would not be a problem either ;-).

I was checking out what it would take to add my free extension to Magento Connect. I noticed a list of open source licenses. Can anyone point out the major difference?
Roughly speaking they're all about the same. Each license permits anyone to reuse your code as long as they credit you, but the (L)GPL, MPL and OSL prohibit someone from doing so with a different license to the one you chose.

I want to use CxxTest for unit-testing in an application. I do not want to be forced to release source code or object files. The LGPL (under which CxxTest is released) is confusing on this issue.
Am I ok? Do I need to do something special?
As long as you're not distributing your tests it's not something you need to worry about.
If money is involved, you need to consult with an attorney. LGPL is not straightforward.
From what I can see, you'll be alright with the LGPL, however,
If it is a derivative work, then the terms must allow "modification for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications."
