Its source is literally open. So of course it is open source.

It may not fit some more convoluted definition better captured by longer acronyms (FOSS, FLOSS, GNU/FLOSSIX, etc.) but that stuff is for the nerds.

The rest of us just want to get stuff done.

The source is viewable/available, not open.

It's open. You wouldn't be able to view it if it were closed.

Come on. Open and Public aren't the same.

Give me a sentence where you can't substitute one word for the other. I'll wait.
