[2] Okay, this was just an extreme example. However: since I personallybelieve that, Invariant sections or no, the term "Open Source" will *still* be more widespread,
Do you have numbers to back the claim that it is more widespread? I thought only English had the free/free ambiguity enough to create a market for the more ambiguous term "open source". I know that the damned term is being imported into other languages, sadly, but I didn't think it had got to the point of majority yet!
If you have no such data, please refrain from that claim. It borders on trolling, given your to-list.
or at least be seen as synonymous with "FreeSoftware" (as the increasingly popular FOSS [Free/Open Source Software]concatenation shows)
That is intersection, not equation. It is known that undesirable stunts limiting freedom, such as software patents, are allowed under most definitions of "open source".
