So they popularized (or maybe co-opted?) the term then. They didn't coin it. How is this nitpicking? Saying they coined the term is clearly false.

  Because as far as they know they did. It came up in meetings they had saying "what should we call this?" per your own link! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery

    I'm not really sure what your point is anymore. If you agree that they were not the first ones to use the term, then we are on the same page. If you agree that open source was used as a term before the OSI came along and decided the define the term in a specific way, then we are in agreement.

      Not really in the context of software though it wasn't. Save for that one caldera announcement. General awareness of the term and its meaning starts with the OSI.
