Summary
The blog post discusses a recent trend of misusing the terms 'open-source' and 'Open Source,' emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between the two definitions. The author argues that this confusion partly arises from the influence of large language models (LLMs) that incorrectly promote the hyphenated form. The post aims to raise awareness about proper usage and the implications of 'Openwashing' in the context of software licenses.
