If your goal is to ever talk to people about open source software, that’s going to create a lot of unnecessary confusion.

I guess that my definition of open source is not that uncommon, given that the terms "free software" and "libre software" exist and are rather well-established by this point.

The fact that there is overlap has no bearing on whether your definition is common.

@tux0r You are right that this mistaken definition is quite common. Smart person would try to correct the mistake, not defend it.
