Actually, given the Open Definition, I'd disagree. Open is a term that

The OKD is a (superior) adaptation of the OSD which is an adaptation of
the DFSG which is a Free Software definition...
"Open" was historically chosen as a nice, fuzzy, politically uncommitted
buzzword. I respect the OSI and OKF's choice of it, and there certainly
are contexts where "openness" is a meaningful virtue, but there are also
contexts where it's a way of avoiding saying "freedom". This is one of them.
