I just wrote a comment about this kind of thing recently. It's sad that 2023 seems to be the year of various kinds of bullshitters intentionally diluting the meaning of "open" and "free" software in order to deliberately confuse the public.
I feel like the DFSG is the most concise version of what the Internet used to generally consider open and free software: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFreeSoftwareGuidelines https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFreeSoftwareGuidelines
