I agree that individually those terms convey the exact thing as publicly available information.
> Is your reaction, perhaps, because you are accustomed to "open source" being used in the software sense?
Yes exactly. I feel like a different term should be used here, because open source is already a widely established term in software.

- klez 2y agoThe term "open source" as referring to sofware was suggested in 1997 but I could find references to OSINT from at least 1991-1995[0], so I'd say "Open Source Intelligence" should get precedence.
