You can do whatever you want to do with my location as it's available for public, you can use it any where in your demo, example etc. That's why I told, I opensourced location.

but You can suggest a good word :) I won't mind to change it.

"Publicised". There's no source going on here, unless you've open sourced the tracking software, but that still wouldn't be your location.

That thing made on Firebase, Node and hosted on Github. Its already opensource. Check out https://github.com/neelkadia/neelkadia.github.io/blob/master...

What do you understand when I say "open source"?

fine, the software is open source, but there is no "source code" to your location. I'm saying that the best wording is "I publicized my location", not "I open sourced my location". It looks to me like you are just trying to take advantage of the "open source is best" leanings many on HN seem to have.
