Is #OpenSource ever written with a hyphen? Not when it's used in connection with #SoftwareFreedom

  Is “Open Source” ever hyphenated?
  
  from OSI
  
  "Open source" (no hyphen) is a lexicalized compound noun which is no longer transparent with respect to its meaning (i.e., open source is not just about being source-viewable, but also about defining user freedoms) which can then be further compounded (with for example “open source license”)

  @webmink Nit: if the subject is #SoftwareFreedom, it's probably better to talk about #FreeSoftware.
