Nope, open source as in for example X goes back no later than the mid-80s. It very specifically defeated the technically superior Sun NeWS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS) due to the "MIT License" it used vs. Sun's demand of ~$100K to play their game. And that was a primary driver in James Gosling and company requiring Sun to liberally licence Java, his next project. (And Gosling, BTW, created the EMACS that Gnu EMACS is a fork of.)
