Nope. No-one has the right to claim and redefine commonly used terms, however ethical they think their course is. Personally, I don't think there's anything ethical about dogmatically insisting on terms and holding on to discourses of decades ago, while conveniently ignoring the reality that "The Cloud" and the stagnant oligopolistic situation we're enduring is a direct consequence of F/OSS abundance.

What I do care about is that software development can sustain itself, be it due to F/OSS licensing schemes or otherwise, for the simple reason that it wouldn't exist otherwise (and that I like true innovation).

And for context, I've released nontrivial software under LGPL.
