Then everyone should stop using "open source" or there's going to be arguments over what counts as open source every single time.
Well luckily there's no arguments necessary, as we have the definition by the OSI. I actually rarely see any discussion about that, and when I do it's mostly ill-informed comment sections.
Oh I agree completely. Open means it's open to access, modification, and redistribution. Not closed to two of those three.
Oh sorry, I might have misunderstood your original comment!
Go free software! 😄🐃
Yes, that's what I'm saying. But as you can tell from this whole thread, it's not going well. LOL.
So you're saying people should stop using a word because you once misunderstood its well-defined meaning?
That's a bit much don't you think?
No, you're telling people they're wrong and it is open source. Not to use other, more precise terms. I hate to have to explain your own argument to you, but you seem to not know what you're saying.
