By that definition Windows is open source. The Linux kernel, Vim, and Microsoft Windows are all "open source" because all of them are "source is available" + conditions.

Do you think this is the definition of open source that people use?




To my knowledge, Windows source code is not legally available, Microsoft didn't open source it (except for Windows 1.0 I guess)


You can ask them and they'll give it to you.
