What's "open" about any of these companies?

I'm tired of words being misused. We have hoverboards that do not hover, self-driving cars that do not, actually, self-drive, starships that will never fly to the stars, and "open"… I can't even describe what it's used for, except everybody wants to call themselves "open".

And the vast majority of current and past countries with the word “democratic” in their name weren’t actually democratic.
