> tl;dr: What about the classification "Source-available" is insufficient for the Ethical Source movement such that changing the OSD is seen as a benefit? Why not proceed developing and enhancing the Ethical Source movement materials and work with the Source-available movement to refine their categories such that Ethical Source is best understood as a source-available scheme? I believe that's what it seeks to be.<br>
<br>
I'm not obligated to guess, but I'll offer two possibilities:<br>
<br>
1) "Open Source" has significant brand value.<br>
<br>
2) "Source Available" is very commonly the model chosen by proprietary<br>
software companies who want to make the source code available but<br>
don't allow distribution, don't accept contributions, etc. That's<br>
pretty far from the 'open source development' methodology.<br>
