You're conflating FOSS and open source. This is open source just not FOSS anymore
This is plainly incorrect, please see the other responses.
FOSS stands for "free and open source software", but they functionally mean the same thing. So what you're saying is:
You're cherry picking a definition to support your agenda.
So your claim is that the open source definition by the Open Source Initiative which is battle tested and widely used by distributions, major git hosts and legal enitities is a cherry-picked definition?
Sounds like you're cherry-picking your definition to hide that you simply have no idea :)
This is plainly incorrect but I won't bother saying why either.
I don't get what you're trying to say here. All terms used have a clear definition and other comments pointed that out already. The definition on open source is very clear.
