This really isnt the time and place, but to prevent any confusion:

Open Source has an official meaning and definition, which I believe the 
thread is referring to, as opposed to any other informal or incorrect 
meaning of the phrase.

Source Available does not mean Open Source.

Doesnt sound like it is Open Source by any definition.
