Well the other day on this very website there were some very opinionated voices stating that Open Source is “exclusively what OSI defines”. I am not on that camp, more like in yours. To me there’s open source and OSI-approved open source. But you will encounter people very set on that other opinion, which I found interesting. Make no mistake, I am super grateful to OSI for their efforts and most of my code out there uses one of their licenses. I just think they are limited by the circumstances. Some things I consider open are not conforming to their licenses and, like here, some things that conform might not be really open.
