> How do you define "open source"? It typically simply means the source code is available.

that is not what that means. "source is available" and "open source" are very different.

Disagree. We need to stop trying to cram meaning into phrases that are already defined. Open source means the source code is freely available. Adding anything else requires a different name.

"open" already has meaning.

> Disagree.

well, fortunately your agreement is not required. "open source" already has a definition and it requires openness.
