I am not really happy that a string of words which have an understandable meaning ('open' and 'source' leading to 'open source') has been hijacked by some foundation. I mean how would you phrase it if your customer wants to source to be open, but without the freedom of redistribution (because he doesnt want to pay for it).


It wasnt hijacked, it was invented by them.

Source available is very much a widely accepted moniker for what you describe.
