Don't care. What I care about is what the words mean in an actual language.
In this case English. I do not recognize OSI as a standards body and do not
care what definition of Open Source can be found at opensource.org or the
FSF. When I look up the words "open" and "source" in my Websters I am not
going to cut out big chucks of what fits because some people have some kind
of agenda they are trying to promote.
