It is one thing for RMS to take away the freedom from developers to
choose their own dictionary. But should it be dogmatically imposed on
others as well, if they, perhaps quite deliberately, use the term
"open source" on their website for exampe?
The ExactCode website uses the term "open source", OpenBench can be
found under the "open source" tab, "Openbench does build uppon already
well-known OpenSource packages", etc.
But oh well, choose your battles...
