By the standard definition, "open source" doesn't exclude FAANG companies from using it in those ways.

You'd need to provide and justify some alternative definition of what open source should be to make your final claim make any sense. As it stands, your claim "that's not open source" doesn't match the reality.

Not just that, the current definition explicitly says you cannot exclude any group. https://opensource.org/osd/ (section 5)

Its not like this is a loop hole. Not descriminating against anyone (including faang) is literally the point.
