Things not included in either concept include: - community building - accepting contributions from other people - ethical use of software - distribution mechanisms - governance - use of paid vs free labor

If it uses paid labor it is not open source?

Nobody said this at all, and this discussion goes beyond "open source".

I understood @sarahmei's tweet as implying that we should include "free vs paid labor" as part of the defining project of the new open source concept.

It's a list of relevant things not accounted for in either FS/OSS movements. I can see why they didn't occur initially. As for €, it seems important to be able to classify some projects as "no paid labor" but I don't think anyone called for banning paid labor as you suggest.

(reposted because I misquoted the original tweet)

If anything, I think the misconception that OSS is purely written for free in people's spare time/weekends is incredibly damaging. This view is perpetuated because paid labor in OSS is often not publicly acknowledged enough. So this dimension should definitely be more prominent.

I agree making it more prominent is a good thing. But characterizing some projects as "free as in labor costs" is definitely not something I'd like to see happening.
