- ilyt 3y agoAnd doing that should be condemned, especially that in this case it is mostly to further corporate interest. What next, gotta call Windows "open source"?

- palata 3y agoI am fine with usage making the definition if that's not destroying the concepts. People who use "open source" for "source-available" don't seem to have another word for what is actually called "open source". What does that mean? Do they just use whatever code they find online the way they want? They surely use open source code, so somehow they should have a need for a word that design open source software.
