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