I don't know/care about "fair source," but the "open source" label in particular has ALWAYS had a well-known and specific meaning in the software world. Attaching it to a proprietary product for the marketing and social media good feels is actively deceitful, no matter if the company is USA trillion-dollar Big Tech or a single developer from a marginalized demographic in a developing country. Software authors have the right to choose whatever license they wish for the project/product, just don't try to lie to users about what it really is.

"Open" AI, "Open" Router, and the like typically get a pass. n8n has never called themselves "open". Their first commit: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/9cb9804eeec1576d935817ecda6bd345480b97fa/LICENSE https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/9cb9804eeec1576d935817ecd... There's so much misinformation and animosity about fair source licenses.
