Michael Tiemann, president of the Open Source Initiative (and Red Hat's VP of Open Source Affairs), has decided to stand up against the flagrant abuse of the term "open source" (by companies like SugarCRM, CentricCRM, and MuleSource, and OpenBravo, to shame a few). He is urging the community to use "open source" only to refer to OSI-approved licenses. The OSI uses the Open Source Definition (http://opensource.org/docs/osd) to determine which licenses to approve. This definition was originally the Debian Free Software Guidelines (http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines), and is substantially equivalent to the free software defition (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html). So, by insisting only programs with OSD-compliant licenses are open source, OSI is really helping everyone who believes in FOSS.
