Just to be clear, that's the point of open source *as* *originally*
*envisaged*. Unfortunately, I believe there has been a campaign to
devalue the meaning of open source to mean any software fro which the
user gets the source code, whether there is a free licence or not.

I have started using the ugly phrase free/libre software. Just for
clarity.
