Luckily to prevent everybody interpreting sounds and glyphs as they wish, we -as a civilization- agreed to adhere to certain standards of how things would be interpreted. The same way we agreed that "allow" means can but not must, we agreed what open source means. Just because you disagree doesn't mean you are in the right.

No you are not. Open source in the context of computing has a definition that is commonly understood. Why then are you using definition of that word that is not commonly understood?
