Think of it this way, if you were going to an event and saw 'buffet available' you'd enquire how to access it. If you saw 'open buffet' you'd know it's just there for the taking.
Open source sounds like it's free to view. It's open.
An open house isn't free to own. You view it.
Open source not meaning the source code is free to view but instead having a meaning related to licensing is silly.
Call it an open license, or just name the license. The code/source isn't the license. I'll die on this hill. Christine was cool but that doesn't make her infallible. Open source meaning open license was a mistake.

I think maybe you’re making a different point than you mean to?
- Buffet available = you can view the buffet for free, but you have to pay to use it
- Open buffet = you can use the buffet for free, it’s just there for the taking
Source available sounds like you gotta buy it.

The point is that it isn't free to access.
