Anyone who disagrees ought to go get their own term rather than appropriating "Open Source" and/or "Free Software".

I've heard "source available" used.

Nobody owns this term so who’s appropriating?

I and the OSI say otherwise.

You claim ownership of „open source”? That’s wild. Your lawyer can speak to my lawyer, I guess.

"free software" very clearly means some software you can use for free (which this isn't), but "open source" very clearly means openly accessible source code, which this is.

"Free Software" very clearly means this, and "Open Source" very clearly means this.

Again, get your own terms. "Freeware" and "source available" are just sitting right there.
