I believe that's what it seeks to be. I'm not obligated to guess, but I'll offer two possibilities: 1) "Open Source" has significant brand value. 2) "Source Available" is very commonly the model chosen by proprietary software companies who want to make the source code available but don't allow distribution, don't accept contributions, etc. That's pretty far from the 'open source development' methodology. _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@lists.opensource.org http://lists.opensource.org/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org
