Most people in the community uses "open source" to mean OSI/OSD 
compliant - not "totally different things" at all.  Even the FSF says 
"We disagree on the basic principles, but agree more or less on the 
practical recommendations. So we can and do work together on many 
specific projects. We don't think of the Open Source movement as an 
enemy."  If you're going to disseminate the FSF propaganda, at least get 
it right. ;)
