Open Source vs opensource

Hi Paolo,

Personally, when I speak of "Open Source" or "Open Source software", I
mean what is defined by the Open Source Definition
(http://opensource.org/docs/osd)

When I am discussing with someone who uses Open Source in a way that
doesn't seem to match this, then I try to make sure that we come to
the same understanding.

Everything else, such as phrases like "Open Source community", "Open
Source movement", "Open Source beer", etc., falls into the fuzzy void
of how we use language.
