'Open source' misses the point of libre software.
They used to be synonymous. Of course now we have conbtributor licenses
It was invented to derail libre software.
You're right, I should clarify better. When I say open source, what I mean is totally open and totally free to contribute to, like the MIT or patchy licenses. Source viewable is a whole different can of worms and not what I mean, so I should be more specific in future.
Contributing isn't the point. AGPL helps us keep control of our own computing.
