Open source is about licensing and not about governance. There are plenty of open source projects where the owner is a dictator. In this case the owner of the github organization has control over who is a part of it and who has permissions within it.

The broader definition is inclusive of group culture, decision-making practices, tone of communication, and a lot more. When someone says “open source,” that’s often shorthand for the broader definition.
