The people have decided that "open source" means OSI open source. Therefore that is its effective definition. Which means
Exactly. In common, everyday usage, when people talk about "Open Source" this is what the majority mean. It's not a "de jure" definition, but it is a "de facto" definition. Open Source means compliance with the OSD. There are terms for those other licenses - "shared source", "source available", etc. Use them if that's what you mean.
