Yep, awesome stuff. Call it "fair source" if you want to. Don't call it open source. I'm an absolutist about very few things, but the definition of open source is one of them. Every bit of variation given in the definition is a win for those who have ulterior motives for polluting the definition. Open source isn't a vague concept, it's a defined term with a legally accepted meaning. Very much like "fair use". It's dangerous to allow this definition to be altered. OpenAI (A deliberate misnomer if ever there was one) and friends would really love to co-opt the term.
