The only objective definition of Open Source I know of is OSI's. Everything else is a hodge-podge of whatever the user of the word feels it's open. Is it reading the code? Modifying it? Redistributing it? There's no consensus besides OSI.

But their definition does not restrict it to OSI approved licenses, so their assertion its not open source because it hasn't been approved is not valid.
