>> Is there a tangible difference between source first / source available and open source?

Yes.

Source First: https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/latinime/-/blob/master/LICENSE....

Open Source: https://opensource.org/osd

Notably, Source First does not allow for the software to be used commercially ("You may use or modify the software only for non-commercial purposes...") whereas Open Source does allow commercial use ("The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software..." and "The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor.").

Thanks for the clarification. Source First is obviously better because it prevents big corporations from ripping off small developers and profiting from it.
