Women in UAE have always been allowed to drive. It was made legal in 2018 in Saudi Arabia, which is a different country.

I'm surprised this is still getting responses.
Fair jab, but I was obviously the computing term, implying "...from source code".

This post is on the "front page", didn't come here deliberately.

Fair enough, I didn't know that "open-source" is, in of itself, sort of a misnomer and, by the formal definition, a book can be open-source, because the phrase means certain specific things not tied to source code, contrary to what the name implies.
And in my defense, I've seen some software that required license key to use, with code available on GitHub or something that called itself open-source (I won't be able to recall the specific names). I assume the term is misused often.

But "open source" doesn't even mean that you can reproduce it or use it for free. It just means that you can see the source code. The permissiveness, as you mentioned, lies in the licensing.
So I still think that it's a complete misnomer.

What's an "open source" book? You don't compile a book, aren't they all "open source"? Do they list all the sources for their text or something?

To be fair, lowercase ф is also sightly different.

For a short while, possibly, yes.
