Then, this is likely to be a short conversation.

You seem to have missed (or decided for reasons of your own to ignore)
what I said, which was quite specific.  Here it is again:

You would be making a grave mistake if you think that trying to call
something with even _arguable_ OSD-compliance problems "open source" is
in the interest of you or your firm.
