open-source /əʊp(ə)nˈsɔːs/ adjective denoting software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified

Adding community to this definition is a stretch.

It really doesn't matter if in practice communities form around projects, there are far more open source repositories on GitHub that have zero outside contributions, those projects are still open source.



You could try that definition during the 16 - 22 time period and experience the backlash on HN and Twitter.

It is also interesting most of these zealotry were gone by the time Fed raises Interest rate and Tech companies started laying off or delaying bonuses.


I stopped caring what those people think a decade ago.
