This is mirrored to GitHub for versioning purposes, but (to the extent I'm interested in collaboration on this) I'd prefer to try it on HackMD.

[TOC] Goals and summary This is a refactoring of the Open Source Definition, inspired by work I did some time ago to refactor the Open Knowledge Definition between its version 1 and 2.0, and egged on by real-life discussions at FOSDEM and CopyleftConf in 2020 and on Twitter in 2021. My primary motivation here is to show what can be done to make the OSD more comprehensible and useful. I do not have the time or motivation to shepherd a rewrite through OSI, but since I've done the work I'm sharing in hopes it can be useful to someone. Primary changes
