It's hard to justify your standpoint. The very term "open source" was
coined by the same people who wrote the open source definition, to mean
software that complies with that definition. You are of course welcome
to use it to mean whatever you want, but that would be going against
common usage, and would not be particularly productive. If you say
"open source", it's generally accepted that you mean compliant with
the OSD.

BTW, what legal weight do you think the term "free" has?
