It's not a question of belief. Maybe words don't mean anything anymore, but certainly legal contracts and licenses do. "Open Source" is a class of licenses approved by the OSI. There are no spirits involved.
meh…I consider an open source license distinct from an open source project. obviously legal contracts can define their own static terms; language is dynamic
