Open source captures a practical utility as well as a philosophy. When those two cease to converge, the practical prerogative wins.

The correct battle would have been weights + regime. But extremists insisted on data, too, which left Meta as the only other real voice arguing with anything practical. They had open weights. I think eventually open use was negotiated and that closed the case except for the folks still arguing about how to pronounce GIF.

Isn't open source not the ingredients but the recipe?
