> "Closed source" is the standard term. Since you seen to not like that term, you could go with "proprietary".

Your definitions go contrary to the understandings and usages of every non-F/OSS person on the Internet.

For example, both "closed source" and "proprietary" are used to mean source-code-not-available in gaming circles.

Perhaps the open source movements should seek intuitive definitions of terms rather than invent vague nomenclature that only makes them unable to communicate with normal users.
