      When did the term “open source” start including specifics about licensing terms? My understanding from the past few decades was that “open source” meant the source was available for people to look at and compile.

        Open source has always meant under a free license. Being able to fork and publish your own versions is integral to the open source philosophy.

      Yes, open source.

      Not Open Source

      You mean free/libre? Open source literally just means you can see the source.

        Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code,[1] design documents,[2] or content of the product. The open-source model is a decentralized software development model that encourages open collaboration.
