Unlike yours?


Not so:

> So-called source available software is a software for which its source code is made publicly available for access. It might or might not be legal to share or modify the software or its source code.

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available)

See https://github.com/FakeFishGames/Barotrauma for an example of such a project


Yes, so liquibase is still perfectly open source according to this definition.


That's the definition of "source available", not "open source".


Are you deliberately being obtuse? Do you have an axe to grind?

'Open source' has a commonly agreed upon meaning, 'source available' has a meaning. You are mistaking open source for just source available.

What is the difference between "open source" and "source available" then, according to you?


Not necessarily, as there is also "source available".
