When they constantly mix technology and politics, yes it does matter. Open Source is a political movement, and that requires taking ESR's version of it with a grain of salt.

Who did a lot of the popularization of that term again? Who cofounded the Open Source Initiative?

It's in no small part due to the politicking and goodthink of ESR that we have Open Source as it is today.

Open Source is not a political movement; you're thinking of Free Software.
