This is an opinion which is not universally shared. Even Stallman doesn’t agree with this definition.

Anyone who disagrees ought to go get their own term rather than appropriating "Open Source" and/or "Free Software".

I've heard "source available" used.

Nobody owns this term so who’s appropriating?

You claim ownership of „open source”? That’s wild. Your lawyer can speak to my lawyer, I guess.
