I'd suggest starting with understanding the term "open source". It doesn't apply to photos.

  Insofar as the largest, uncompressed version of a photo is its "source", I can see where s/he's coming from when using that term.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. As a programmer, it made sense to me.

  Well, I hear what you are saying, but the definition of "open source software" is: software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. This is not software, so there is no "source code" per-se. But the original high-resolution images are "made freely available and may be redistributed and modified" so I thought that "open source photos" was an appropriate name.
