Nope. Sorry but you don’t get to hijack the term “open source”. There’s a reason we have gone to considerable lengths to define it https://opensource.org/osd

Openness is an important principle and it includes not discriminating against fields of endeavour. Think “open society” not “open jar”.

And if you disagree? Well, then I have some free software to sell you!

> Software developers who have any business sense will tell you that customers presume that open-source is synonymous with source-available.

As a software developer with business sense, I call BS on this made-up “fact”. All true scotsmen agree with me.
