There have always been multiple definitions of "open source". That's why it's always best to specify. If you mean FOSS, say FOSS. Don't use an ambiguous term like "open source".
Then everyone should stop using "open source" or there's going to be arguments over what counts as open source every single time.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. But as you can tell from this whole thread, it's not going well. LOL.
So you're saying people should stop using a word because you once misunderstood its well-defined meaning?
That's a bit much don't you think?
