I think this sub should start enforcing the explicit mention of "NOT FREE (AS IN FREEDOM)" in the title and/or flair when people use the word "open-source" when there are restrictions in place. Yes technically there's no lie, but it's still misleading (often intentionally) since many conflate open-source with free software (proof in the comments when you have people asking about it). We should be discouraging this trend of "Smile! You should be happy I'm showing you the code, but you should only use it the way I tell you to" that OpenAI started, it's a huge regression and it feels like we're back to the dark days before the GPL.

You are confusing open source with source available. Open Source includes all the same freedoms as Free Software. Source Available has source code but comes with restrictions.
