On the other hand, nobody has a monopoly on the “open source” concept, or even on putting the “open” qualifier in front of things. Broadly speaking, source code ranges from completely closed to completely open, and it is difficult to argue that code under a CC licence is not more open than, say, Windows’. Or indeed the usual calculator operating systems.
