It means that the dependent variable and all its derivatives are multiplied by constants only, not by themselves nor by functions containing the independent variable..
For example, (dy/dx) + xy = 0 is non-linear
but (dy/dx) + y = (x^2)coswx is linear.
(Note that it doesnt matter how the function of the independent variable is)
