@10leej Yes, all free software qualifies as "open source", as per this clownflared site: https://opensource.org/osd

"open source" is a 3rd party definition, was was based off a 3rd party interpretation of the fsd by Debian which is defined by a group that is under the control of dozens of proprietary software companies that are "members" and "affiliates": https://opensource.org/corporate-sponsors-support (it seems that stopped publishing a big long list of proprietary software companies and have decided to publish a select few with a sprinkle of some who focus mostly on free software, or maybe I just can't find the right page).


As "open source" is clearly mostly about pandering to proprietary software companies, so they release some source code under an acceptable license when it benefits them, but otherwise keep distributing the same amount of proprietary malware, using "open source" to refer to free software is a very high form of insult in my book.

Please don't support proprietary software - defend freedom instead by saying free software or libre software: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/po/open-source-misses-the-point.html
