Eh, no, Open-Source means Open-Source and I hate it when people try overloading words due to market-appeal or ignorance.

I agree partly with the article about entitlement, but you need to define what "open" means, and "access to source code" doesn't cut it due to IP laws. It can't be "open" if it's a legal landmine.

And yes, Open-Source does mean "FOSS", always. The definitions of Open-Source and Free Software being very much equivalent.

Stop overloading terms for your own gain.
