For nitpicking like that let me do some counter-nitpicking: please write 'Open Source (OSI)', 'Open Source (TM)' or at least capitalize it as 'Open Source' so that people know where you're coming from. The commonly used 'open source' just means 'the source is in the open'. Let's not allow organizations to hijack commonly used words.

It’s not nitpicking, the term “open source” is not usually used for this kind of thing, it would be called “shared source” I did a poll on this on a Discord server a while ago What does open source mean You can view the source code: 0 votes View + use + redistribute for any purpose: 14 votes So no, your version of it is not the common usage

  Was that the OSI discord server? ;) 14 votes in a specific bubble isn't all that representative either.

    It's calculator programming related so I'd say not biased in any particular way other than having a lot of hobbyist techy people

Open source has a commonly held definition, it's not nitpicking. I will not let corporations cynically hijack the definition to mean "you can look at the source" the way you suggest.
