Is it now? I was under the assumption it was an ideological definition, at least that's how people present every time one of these projects are even a smidge off from the OSI definition.

I don't think most major Open Source projects in the last 10 years have even once considered,

'E.g. if software is Open Source, it can be included in a Linux distribution.'

That is exactly what I mean by "out of touch".

If I had to guess the primary motivator for being Open Source, are the communal and moral aspects of it.

Software Freedom is an ideology. Open Source is a definition.

Well the trademark is going the way of bandaid, and definitions change regularly.

Edit: I see you edited that part out.

The OSI definition hasn't changed. It barely changed what it borrowed from the Debian Free Software Guidelines before that.

("Open Source" itself isn't a trademark, but the OSI bits are, so I removed it to avoid confusion.)

(There's no indication that the legal construction of a trademark is "going the way of the bandaid", or that bandaids are "going the way of the bandaid" for that matter.)
