> Open Core is an outgrowth of Open Source because the open-source crowd does not care about freedom
It would be very visible if OSI members would have done anything towards Open Core.
Until you come with proof, to me Open Core is outsiders that didn't want to follow the Open Source Definition, just like the anti-capitalists poseurs that go on restricting fields of endeavors and effectively make proprietary software.
Google software like Android isn't really a libre vs. open-source problem.
Or even a lack of copyleft or license virality.
It's that Google doesn't really wants to collaborate, so it creates forks everywhere and uses the proprietary-culture of things like vendoring and monorepos which makes it much harder for outsiders to reuse and meaningfully modify software (not only you would have to modify upstream but all the slightly modified copies downstream as well).
Effectively because hacker practicality and user freedom isn't only a license problem, the license is just a foundation. Quite like infrastructure tools like compilers or a openly accessible version control system (thanks OpenBSD for that innovation).
