Rick Moen (and others) suggest the term "open source" be used only as 
defined by OSI. Maybe that would be a good thing, and as I said and 
pointed out (and Rick wasn't listening) I never say just "open source" 
tout court to mean something different, but life has shown repeatedly 
that the vast majority of speakers won't follow the suggestion. 
"Commercial open source" is a fairly established term to denote efforts 
(like the SDC's) to profitably license freely distributable and 
modifiable source code.

Kindly tell what point you feel I'm trying to evade.
