"Open source" is not a license either.

"Free and source available" describes a group of licenses including sentry's.



Okay, but "open source" implies you can change and fork the code. "Free and source available" does not, even if you can in some cases.

That's literally all I said.


It sounds like you are agreeing with me that if you can do that then it's not misleading to call those licenses open source.
