> Great example of why I don't like the trend of calling licenses like this "open source" when they aren't compatible with the OSI definition.

Open source was always a way to weasel about terms, that's why it's open source and not free.



More the other way around.

Just because it's free doesn't mean you can change anything or get the source.

Some claim something is open source but it's just for free.

Gratis, not free.
