Mod category `Open Source` is misleading as some mods under this category are not really open source

[ttyv1]

mcmod.cn currently have a category for mods called Open Source, with description The author has made the source code publicly available, and specified an Open Source license.

However some mods, despite having source code available somewhere (often github.com), they don't come with a true Open Source license. An example is TrainCraft, its license prohibits distribution of the mod, nor use the source code for commercial purposes, therefore didn't comply with the Open Source Definition that published by Open Source Initiative.

Note that calling non-Open-Source programs Open Source is wrong, and badly misleads people for the true meaning of word 'Open Source', which is already vulnerable to this kind of misleading.

I suggest adding another category for those mods, with label Source Available and description The author has made the source code available, but didn't provide a license or the license did not qualified as an Open Source license.

Wikipedia have an article for Source-available software.
