@HumanPenguin Or maybe you are just talking out of your ass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source
Maybe but I'm assuming you are far to young to have worked on and pre x86 arch. So assuming is only making you the arse.
I worked on many software products calling them self open source pre stallmans popularity.
It literally was the only way software commercial could have a large marketing base in the early days. Pre home PC etc.
@HumanPenguin Whatever man, are you even reading yourself?

If you have no source, then please stop bothering.
Sure when you find any source indication open source did not exist as a term,
Untill then stop being an arsehole and consider the fact old gits remember shit.
