For these open source experts, it's all about standards. For Meta, it's all about the money.

    The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources

    So as I understand it, under the OSI definition of the word, anything distributed under a copyleft licence would not be open source.

    So all software with GNU GPL, for example.

      That’s incorrect. GPL licenses are open source.

      The GPL does not restrict anyone from selling or distributing GPL-licensed software as a component of an aggregate software distribution. For example, all Linux distributions contain GPL-licensed software, as the Linux kernel is GPLv2.
