If your goal is to ever talk to people about open source software, that’s going to create a lot of unnecessary confusion.
I guess that my definition of open source is not that uncommon, given that the terms “free software” and “libre software” exist and are rather well-established by this point.

@tux0r You are right that this mistaken definition is quite common. Smart person would try to correct the mistake, not defend it.
The fact that there is overlap has no bearing on whether your definition is common.
