Oh I get the theoretical difference. I’m talking about functional difference. Good luck taking China to patent court.

Open source doesn’t mean source available. You simply aren’t using the term correctly.

If someone infringes on a copyright that doesn’t mean the work isn’t copyrighted. You can’t just say things that are source available are open source. Even if someone is infringing on the rights holders they’re still only source available.
