Not sure why you were downvoted, but this is exactly correct. "Open Source" doesn't (just) mean "You have access to the source code." It's actually a pretty specific thing.
And before anybody says it - yes, we all know that OSI doesn't have a registered trademark on "Open Source." Doesn't matter. We're talking about a de-facto definition, not de-jure. And among people who actually care about the definition of "Open Source" the OSD is the de-facto definition.
