Why is this open-source? Neither is the source of the (free) icons available, nor is the license (CC 4.0) approved by OSI as "open source". Don't get me wrong

Why is this open-source?
Neither is the source of the (free) icons available, nor is the license (CC 4.0) approved by OSI as "open source".
Don't get me wrong I am not an evangelist praising the OSI. But not even having the source (figma/sketch files, repository) available definitely abuses the term open source.

- vincent-lemoign 5y agoFigma, github repositories are available. https://www.figma.com/community/file/1063138616574654762 https://www.figma.com/community/file/1063138616574654762 https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/README.md https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/R... We still think they are open-source but totally okay with us having different opinions.
- samuelstros 5y agoPut links to the source on your website. I searched for multiple minutes and haven't found anything.
- renewiltord 5y agoCC-BY 4.0 is a perfectly good open license for non-source-code. OSI lists licenses for code, which is why it doesn’t list CC 4.0 licenses. Finally, go check out the license for the OSI website. It’s CC-BY 4.0, same as this. It’s not even at the degree of sleight of hand as treating dy/dx as a fraction. It’s perfectly cromulent, not abusive of “open source” and perfectly in line with the principles. I know the HN community is huge on being negative and stuff but come on, man. If you’re going to be all “abuses the term open source” and shit like that, at least bother to have some basic knowledge.
- vincent-lemoign 5y agoThank you. This was a bloodbath.
