I would argue the greater mistake was rebranding #freesoftware and forming a dull corporate entity known as the #opensourceinitiative. Open source as a term* has always been poorly defined despite being legally identical to Free/Libre; and the ideas of #freeculture #cyberlibertarian and #freespeech cannot be divorced from #freelibresoftware
*(referring to how its colloquially spoken— neither word in "open source" implies or evokes freedom in any way; it sounds more like "source available" than #liberty to me.)
