    if it’s not distributable without condition, it’s not open source

    MIT and GPL are not open source then, since they impose conditions. Open source by your definition would be some like WTFPL or Unlicense

      Without explicit license? Without contacting the administrator for permission? This is what I mean by conditions. There’s no need to be pedantic, if the software isn’t available for commercial use how can it be open source? I cannot modify this and redistribute or package it without getting in touch with a project representative.
