> if OSI defines black boxes as "open source", they open a loophole that will be exploited to harm people without being held accountable

The OSI’s definition matches the legal definition in the EU and California (and common use). If the OSI says open data only, it will just be ignored. (If people are upset about the current use, they can make the free vs. open distinction we do in software to keep the pedantic definition contained.)
