Some Firefox users noticed playback issues on YouTube for several months. These affected high resolution videos only, from 1080p and up. To make matters worse, no clear pattern could be identified.

Some videos played fine, others would stop abruptly when they ran out of buffer.

    You can’t just redefine an established term because it’s inconvenient to your argument.

    Agreed, which is why you can’t expect to enforce the definition you like on everyone. The only thing about “open source” that we agree on is that the “source” is “open”.

    I’m realizing you’re working with outdated information. Take a look at the license again, it’s been updated.

      It is literally the definition which has been used since the term’s conception when the open source movement split off from the software freedom movement. It is a well established term with a well established meaning. Just because you don’t want to use that meaning doesn’t mean it isn’t the correct and most widely recognised. Its not that I like the definition, it’s that it is the primary definition and always has been.

        No, it’s the definition the Open Source Initiative has used since their inception. They are just one of many open source communities with their own licenses.

        I think we’ll have to agree to disagree (which is my entire point). Cheers.

          Which… split off from the FSF and the software freedom movement. And that term was never used before they created it. They literally defined it and started it’s use.

          They are just one of many open source communities with their own licenses.

          Again, established definition. Stop trying to legitimise your self-concocted definition of “open source”.
