"Well it depends on what definition of 'Open Source' you are using" is always either a bad faith argument, or comes from a place of ignorance. It's literally impossible for someone to be both, well informed about these issues, and using an argument like this in good faith. 2/2

Replying to @oe1cxw
I agree that a clear and well stablished definition of "open source" exists. The problem is that many actors in the software industry use the term without adhering to the definition. Sometimes intentionally.

It somehow reminds me of esoteric people claiming that their healing crystals or whatever are "based on quantum mechanics" and when you poke holes in their ridiculous claims they are like "yeah, well, I just have different definitions of what those physics terms actually mean".
