I'm reminded of the history of the term "open source" itself.

It came from Eric S Raymond and other folks to counter Free Software/GPL in a more commercially minded way.

I think Richard Stallman said it meant "you can view the source" without necessarily granting any other rights.

I think since then it has been more defined, but there seem to be hidden gotcha's possible. Like maybe https://github.com/rapi3/pfsense-is-closed-source
