> Look, the term "open source" has a specific, shared meaning

Maybe with the HN crowd. The fact is, the term "open source", being made from two common words with actual specific, shared meanings, unfortunately together create a common-sense meaning that is NOT the "specific, shared" meaning that the Open Source Initiative defines it as. Furthermore, a lot of people like the common-sense definition better than the OSI definition.
