No, I am saying open source code is open source. Open source has had an established, fixed definition for decades. It was coined for a specific purpose to represent a particular category of software licence.
You are doing a disservice to anyone reading what you write if you use a term with a fixed, established definition to mean something completely different without signalling that you are doing so. Language is for communication.
- Kiro 3y agoIt doesn't matter. Your definition is legacy and not what open source refers to in common speak.
- memefrog 3y agoI don't know what 'your definition is legacy' means. Could you try to speak English? 'Open source' has meant the same thing for decades. Its meaning has not changed.
