That's still wrong. You aren't thinking clearly. The availability of
source code is utterly and completely useless unless you have the
unrestricted freedom to use, study, modify, and redistribute.

Apart from one old and deprecated version, all BSD licenses are free
software licenses. They predate the term "open source." You aren't
providing an argument against my argument. You are just repeating my
argument back to me. Those projects owe their existence to their
freedom, not the term "open source."
