What is the difference between polyamory and ethical non-monogamy?

Polyamory is when someone is in an open relationship with multiple people at once. It can be sexual or romantic, and everyone involved in the polyamory circle stays informed through communication, making it ethical non monogamy. Polyamory is different from polygamy, as marriage is not involved.
