I believe the trademarked term is “Open Source” (with capitals) and they are avoiding that.

IMO it’s a deliberately deceptive technique to try to confuse the market and dilute open source.

The quoted passage from the FAQ says "open source" in lowercase.

There is no trademark on "Open Source", whats trademarked is "OSI Certified".

> dilute open source.

I think you mean "dilute Open Source" with capitals :P

More seriously: most terms dilute over time, and it takes a lot of effort to prevent that. I wouldn't assume every instance is malicious
