English is not defined by any specific authority. All common usages are accepted, and open source as in visible source is a common usage, though perhaps not by people you spend time around.
Note this is unrelated to the many incompatibilities between the various open source licenses.
Also see: Microsoft's "Shared Source", an example of something that may look like open source but (with some exceptions) isn't. Disclaimer: no idea if this still exists, now that Microsoft seems to be truly embracing open source for some of its software.
