   Vigorous defence of why it's OK to call proprietary software "commercial open source" by a vendor who does that: wmk.me/Tt1c9m

   "Ditch" isn't good enough either. It leaves a vacuum that GCHQ, MI5/6 and the police will be back to fill later.

   I agree, but my concern with this article was with vendors who call themselves "open source" and deliver proprietary.

   Thanks for the pointer. I'll assume the confrontational phrasing is a matter of non-native usage.

    And anyway, it's clear @jwildeboer is looking for an argument ;-) I'd hate to let him down.

    I spent a lot of effort crafting 140-character answers to similar questions last night. Which of them were you responding to?

    Sadly it's not clear which of my many comments on this thread you're responding to here. But I believe this issue is far from obvious.

    That Rorschach effect is important though. If people believe there is no issue, they won't file complaints...

    That would be interesting to try. I have a hunch we'll do something like it at FOSDEM :-)

    But since Apple are not creating a derived copyrighted work (just engaging in distribution), why do those copyright license clauses apply?
