Its ok for things not to be open source, but for the term to mean anything it has to have a definition. Vauge moral handwaving about "doing the right thing" doesn't really help give meaning to the term. A project can be open source and morally bad. It can be closed source and morally good. Authors' moral intentions are a totally orthogonal dimension.
