There is no problem to find the term "open source" in publications from e.g. 
1990.

The OpenSource movement is older than RMS attempt to introduce the term "free 
software".

But I am sorry to see that you try to divert from the main topic which is the
true opensource-ness of OpenSolaris.

As I mentioned: I see no reason why _new_ closed source software should be 
added to ON.
