Let's stop re-defining the terms please.

> You can open the link to the source because it is open source. Open, as in a book or computer file. Source, as in the unicode (or whatever) textfiles...

No. "open house" does not mean "someone's house with door unlocked". And "open market" does not mean "a farmers market that is currently selling stuff". And "open problem" does not mean "a textbook that was left on the table with pages spread".

Phrases have meanings, and the meaning of "open source" has been pretty clear for a decade.
