Given the strict definition of “open source” is often at odds with commercial and marketing incentives – what do people here think of the “fair-code”, “fair source”, and “source first” movements mentioned here?

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Sure, but if the colloquial usage doesn’t match up with the definition, it’s probably a sign the label is too broad and some more precise terms need to be coined to communicate the true intent.

If people have issue with the definition, changing the name doesn't change anything.
