The issue is that the difference is clear to us, but not to everyone else. Even at the periphery of the tech world, I've met people generally aware what source code is, but not of the specific concept of "Open Source" and why it makes a difference. We should avoid falling into the bubble trap where we assume that what's familiar to us is familiar to everyone else as well.
