@7heo taking the term "open source" literally as just open for reading (not open for modification, distribution etc..) that's only what big monopolistic corporations want you to believe. They've been attempting to redefine the term for many years. Before they started this campaign it was pretty clear to everyone that open source means one of the OSI licenses. Think about it, if it was only about readability, then all javascript would be technically open source. The mixup is artificial.
