For far too long, people (in this group as well) have inflated "open

is out of the scope of any OSS-license that I am aware of.


Couldn't have said it better myself. Open source means... well, you can
read the source. That's it.

Correct. Indeed, we should have adopted the term "Open community" or such to mean the broader thing.


I guess, BTW, what are the popular projects that can be designed as "Open community".
