I do not mean to say that your concerns are not valid; but it's important we all
stick to agreed terms and definitions to communicate effectively. These things are
still Open Source by all commonly agreed definitions of the term, and use licenses
that are commonly agreed to be Open Source.
Anyone who wishes to crusade against the freemium/closed-paid-version model needs
to come up with a new term to describe what they mean rather than co-opting Open
Source.
