Which is why I am using "open source". You are free to use "non-OSI source" for your stuff.

The only thing you are saying is that "open source" sounds nicer and you want it for your term instead. Too late.

"Open source" was used to refer to source-available material for decades before it ever OSI ever existed. This is the reason why OSI can't get a trademark on the term -- UTPTO won't let you trademark a generally descriptive term already in use.

That's nice, but just says that it used to mean something else and you are bitter about it.
