What does "source" mean when you say open source? If you mean creative commons or some other open licensing scheme, don't refer to it as "source", which specifically refers to software.
There are plenty of extensions of the phrase "open source" that have nothing to do with software. See Terms based on open source for examples, which include "Open source political campaign", "Open source record label", and "Open source religion".
I realize that technical people are the last people to criticize for being nitpicky about their terms, but, for the rest of the world, language changes. You should be glad that people have picked up on the ethos instead of jumping on them for inaccuracy.
