What is needed today is not a change to open source, but for business people not to open source if they don’t want to stay the course. Take the time to understand what you are getting into before you commit.

That’s not about the need to change open source, it’s about being better business people. If they want to create public or distributed source – i.e to share their code with a non-open source licence that has restrictions whilst making their code public, that’s cool. Just please stop calling it open source when it is not.
