It's not. Let's not muddy the waters that this term was already introduced to further.
- jake_the_third 8y agoI agree. Regardless of what GP's feelings on the matter are, Open Source is a proper and well-defined term that was originally used as a way to sell open software business models to high-level execs. I've never seen anyone advocate the term as open-but-not-free beyond those stating it to defend a point.
