I’ll be that guy pointing out at semantics - “open-source”, in the widely used OSI definition of the term is actually equal to free (as in freedom). It’s why open-source advocates go so hard at saying “this is not open-source” when companies just dumps their source code somewhere and dubs themselves open-source for it.

The difference between “open source” and “free software” isn’t a definitional one, but a philosophical one.
Fair enough. I know the FSF likes to make the distinction.
