- tedunangst 15y agoI have as little respect for people who redefine open source as for the people who redefine free software.
- warp 15y agoThe open source initiative failed to obtain the trademark. So "Open Source" as a term is not trademarked, and can mean anything. IMO, the only useful description of open source is source code licensed under one of the licenses approved by the Open Source Initiative, but there is no trademark protecting that particular use.
