Open source is when the source code is available.
Free software is when the source is available and the license lets you exercise your 4 freedoms.
@n0x0n You are wrong though: https://opensource.org/osd
> Introduction
> Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code.
Literally the first sentence.
The definition you are using is being spread by the likes of Meta and Amazon.
Taking only a part of my post does not make sense in this context.
@n0x0n Providing an authoritative source which directly contradicts your statement, that does not make any sense to you? I'm sorry then.
