Nah they just owe it to having source code available. The BSDs are an example.. none of your philosophical freedom talk there, but they exist. GPL is just better because the dervative works also have source available. No elitist attitude necessary.
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."
