Open source claimed by someone as open source is not open source if:
- First and foremost - since this is the fake that applies to most of the impostors - If it restricts commercial use, such as by the NC Clause in Creative Commons licenses - it is not open source.
Something is authentically open source even if it has the requirement that derivatives are likewise required to be shared free of charge.
