Luckily he doesn't need to, because (as above) he's obviously talking about the open source community.

You couldn't care less.

I really think none of your criticisms are a real problem, or that there's any real ambiguity. I won't keep replying, it doesn't seem useful.

Which open-source community? The Linux kernel community is very different from say, the Haskell community (which is also very invested in open-source).

You accuse me of splitting hairs on semantics, yet you choose to correct me here. You understood what I meant, local slang here (for better or for worse) is to say what I wrote (even if it's not 100% gramatically correct), but you are more than willing to criticise me for not 'accepting' ambiguous language for something that should be 'obvious' to 'the open-source community'...
