- What the symbol "2" refers to is a matter of convention, just like with any ordinary word.
- There's no authority that will punish you for misusing legal terms of art, or engineering terms of art— in everyday speech like this discussion— either. The vibe this gives is frankly "I just learned trademark exists and I think I'm very smart now".
- "Open-source" isn't a term that emerged organically from conversations between people. It is a term that was very deliberately coined for a specific purpose, defined into existence by an authority. It's a term of art, and its exact definition is available here: https://opensource.org/osd
The term "open-source" exists for the purposes of a particular movement. If you are "for" the misuse and abuse of the term, you not only aren't part of that movement, but you are ignorant about it and fail to understand it— which means you frankly have no place speaking about the meanings of its terminology.
- MIT and Apache are free software licenses in Stallman's sense, and the FSF has always been clear about it.
GitHub's log streaming also sucks. It's very laggy and chunked, whereas GitLab's is pretty much real-time.
