You don't say anything about the source being available to anyone.
This is what makes an open source project open source.  If you don't
do this, and make the source available only to developers who sign
some kind of agreement, it may be an interesting volunteer developer
opportunity, but I don't think you can call it open source by any of
the definitions I know anything about.

I agree that this list is the wrong place to discuss the philosophy of
open source development.  But the word does get used here often enough
that I think making sure we all mean something vaguely similar by it
is probably constructive.
