Move on, list, move on. ;)
So what? You want to continue to discuss it or to end it? Make your decision. And no, the OSI definition is mentioned in the 2nd sentenced. The 1st sentence sais "Open source is a set of principles and practices on how to write software, most importantly, the source code is openly available.". And on top of it, there's even a link: "For other uses, see Open source (disambiguation).": "Open source denotes that a product includes permission to use its source code, design documents, or content (...)." So get it: there is NOT only one definition of the term "open source" when standing alone. Like with many unspecific short terms, different people have different opinions of those short terms. So don't talk like your opinion would be "fact". And think about it, if we would "intentionally mislead" people, like you're accusing us, we would definitely not place a link on our site to the various definitions of "open source" including your praised OSI definition. But I agree with you in one thing: it's really nonsense to discuss this issue any further.
