Ahh. The commonly used "open source" term is a synonym in practice for "free software", so if you are a proprietary software vendor that is source-available but calling it "open source" (when really, it's not) is a different type of misleading.

Don't call source-available proprietary software "open source", or say that you'll "always be open source" if you're just going to be source-available for parts.
