@riverpunk@defcon.social @akareilly@hachyderm.io It's worth remembering how 'open source' became successful. A programmer who hears the phrase thinks about it as something related to source code and source code being open to {something}. But a business person doesn't hear that. They know what a second source is: it's an alternative supplier that you can easily switch to if you have problems with your primary supplier. And they hear 'open source' in this context: not just one second source, but an open market of second *source*s. And that's something that they immediately understand.
