Um. SPI still do hold the "open source" trademark.

Actually, I do talk about "free software" not "open source", not least
because of confusion like that above, and greater sympathy with the
FSF than with Eric Raymond... but nevertheless "open source" does have
a generally understood meaning, and if people _are_ going to use that
term they ought to know what it means. Mr. Faulkner does appear to use
that term, so he ought to find out what it means.
