    Who these people are? ;-)

    The term "open source" has been understood to mean "comes with source code"
    long before people try to humpty-dumpty-tise it. Just like "free software"
    does not necessarily mean "GPL software".

    I happen to give away some open source (comes with source code) free
    software (comes with few restrictions). Personally I couldn't care less if
    it is "Open Source" or "Free Software".
