?? 'open source' means the source code is open, its right there in the words. nothing about license. that people use one term ('open source') when they mean another ('permissively licensed') does not change that.

if you don't want General Dynamics (eg) to use your software, then it must be in the license, "this license does not apply to General Dynamics, General Dynamics is not granted any right to use this license" a code of conduct does nothing and has no force.

@brettm @CoralineAda no i use open source as meaning free and open source
nonfree and open source would typically be called source available

@brettm @CoralineAda also not like your fancy license that only permits usage for good and not evil or general dynamics, inc. would actually have much force either unless you have the money to sue general dynamics in the event you find out about them breaking the license lol
